I will spare you a description, ' said my wife, of our first day's occupations; truth to tell, I spent the time chiefly in anxious thought and watching your progress and signals. I rose very early this morning, and with the utmost joy perceiving your signal that all was right, hastened to reply to it, and then while my sons yet slumbered, I sat down and began to consider how our position could be improved....This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
