the Atlantic untroubled by storms and
paying very little tribute to old neptune

each day and the moon and stars at night
shining brightly over us. Surrounded by
pleasant fellow voyagers in fine vessel

with three ocean steamers, our journey

one of them II long visit before our return
home.
Such attentions from such source was
of course very pleasing to us and it was
with great feeling that we responded in
our usual modest way, thanking them i'll
