LETTER I.
VOYAGE.--ARRIVAL AT NEW YORK.--BURNING OF QUARANTINE
BUILDINGS.--CABLE REJOICINGS.--DESCRIPTION OF THE TOWN.
New York, September 3, 1858.
We landed here yesterday afternoon, at about six o'clock, after a very
prosperous voyage; and, as the Southampton mail goes to-morrow, I must
begin this letter to you to-night. I had fully intended writing to you
daily during the voyage, but I was quite laid up for the first week with
violent sea sickness, living upon water-gruel and chicken-broth.
