Livy darling, it is just a lovely ship, & this smoking room is perfection.
The Batavia left considerably ahead of us, but we overtook her in half an hour & swept by her as if she were standing still. She looks like a yawl beside this vast vessel. Capt. Mouland sent a very regretful letter, which smote me. Bless you, dear old darling, & good-by. Kiss mother & the Modoc.
