arrival at Providence, r. L. was announced by salute
of hundred guns and the of five thousand peo
| pie assembled around the railroad depot, who also
furnished many tokens Of hospitality dunng the few
minutes the train remained Here several friends who
accompanied us from Boston bid adeu to return to
their city in the train Having reached Groton
| took the Plymouth Rock and reached New York this
morning. All delighted with the trip, which was
| in every way a complete success.
We left "the Hub" with many pleasant memories
and notwithstanding that IL has many
eccentriches, such blue stockings fanatics big
organs and small notions yet do not forget there
such places Concord Lexington and Bunker Hill
in its vicinity and that after all there may be
| things said in its favor
