Scope and Contents

They reached there on Saturday morning. Thursday there was scarcely any sea but on Thursday evening just after passing Cape Hatteras the wind changed and there was a rolling and pitching. He soon got used to it but Mother was just sick enough to feel uneasy. Emmy also kept up till Friday. Charley and Ned were pronounced A. No. 1 sailors. Savannah has nothing to recommend it but its beautiful climate. They have visited the grave of Bishop Francis Xavier Gartland and a simple wooden cross marks his resting place. Beside him rests Bishop Edward Barron . They visit church daily. On All Saints' Day, they leave for Florida where they only assist in spirit at the Holy Sacrifice. Mother, Addy, Emy, Charly and Annie all send love. P.S. Addie proved the best sailor of the lot. :: II-2-n A.L.S. 4pp. 16mo.
