Describes letters received in New York while he was traveling through the South. Transcription: [words crossed out] I+?-?-?ll write him [Samuel Gunn, Jr.] a hearty letter, and many of +?-?-?em ? and if ever he needs help and I can help him ? may ? the devil admire me if I don+?-?-?t! / There+?-?-?s a dirty, scoundrelly feeling I+?-?-?ve noted in England, and not in America at all. It+?-?-?s a dread of having to help relations. Here, if a man+?-?-?s down he+?-?-?s helped; ? and made to suffer no moral degradation by it. In England, all through the middle classes, I think, this feeling exists. And in this matter I+?-?-?ll be an American. [words crossed out] A letter from Joe Greatbatch, Australia, voluminous in size and recrossings. Lots of particulars of high prices. He+?-?-?s tried the diggings twice, each time floored by sickness, will try it again. Writes cheery and self reliant. / Lastly. A bit of a note from [William] Boutcher, dated Marseilles. A kindly farewell as it were. He is on his way to Nineveh and the old Bible cities, there to sojourn for three years. So, his hand I shall not press when I see them all in England, next year; there+?-?-?s one item lying cold at heart, I hadn+?-?-?t reckoned on. Dear friend, book-lover, and true gentleman! [words crossed out]. He will write, periodically, and will I. I bless God that I have brave, rich, loyal hearts to love me, even as I do them! But three ? long ? years! [word crossed out] To have him by the hand for a minute now! ? My heart+?-?-?s full, and I can+?-?-?t write any more to-night. 24. Thursday. Was scribbling a few words corollary to my Mississippi written letters, when [John] Whytal came up. He was going off to see his child [Frederick Whytal], which is thriving in the care of his relatives at Boston. Lotty [Kidder], playing at a Baltimore theatre, company black-legs, so says Whytal. He showed me a long rhyming letter he had sent to Mrs [Rebecca] Kidder, reviling her. He+?-?-?s prosperous, owing t
