Summary
Reporting on his trip to America, where "I have just come back from the South and Slavery, wh. is not near so horrible in reality as in Mrs. Stowe's book," and his planned trip to Canada, where "there are still great coats and furs even I believe, and snows and sleighs and winter"; wishing his daughters were with him: "I never saw such luxury and extravagance, such tearing polkas, such stupendous suppers and fine clothes"; and sending news of his family.
