He has regretted leaving his friends in New York as is always the case when he leaves a place. He remembers his comrades who died in France. His voyage on the Hudson was enjoyed very much. He was warmly welcomed by his host and hostess whom he had met in Rome but had not really known. Mr. Tracy is a real Irish gentleman, and his wife proved agreeable and winning. He spent two agreeable days in Albany, and intended writing then to McMaster, but just could not get down to writing except to draft a plan for the St. Peter's Union. He left by rail for Whitehall on Monday, from where he went to Plattsburg by boat. The boat "The United States" was manned by a crew of Frenchmen who were very pleasant to talk to, as were the Captain and officers who were old American gentlemen, not the modern Yankee. Lake Champlain reminded him of the old Jesuit missionaries who traveled it is bark canoes in order to reach their red men. He wonders if the vices of the Indians were as bad as the vices of the average white man. The scenery on Lake Champlain is more than he had expected. Notwithstanding the beauties of the scenery, he fell asleep and awoke on nearing Burlington. :: I-1-o A.L. incomplete 4pp. 8vo.
