Excerpt from Journal, 1835, Vol. 1 of 2

Another break in my journal, and here I am on board the Pacific, bound for America, having left home, and all the world behind. - Well!

We reached the quay just as the ship was being pulled, and pushed, and levered to the entrance of the dock; - the quays were lined with people, among them were several known faces, - Mr. - , Mr. - . M - came on board to take my letters, and bid me good-by.

I had a bunch of carnations in my hand, which I had snatched from our drawing-room chimney; - English flowers! - dear English flowers! they will be withered long before I again see land, but I will keep them until I once more stand upon the soil on which they grew.

The sky had become clouded, and the wind blew cold.

Came down and put our narrow room to rights.

Worked at my Bible cover till dinner time. We dined at half past three.
