1863
Catskill Aug. 30th
1st day eve
My dear
Mother
I had to leave off writing very suddenly last
time, as thee must have seen by the letter having no
direction. We got to writing in bed at West Point as we
woke up early, & were not going to take breakfast till 8
1/2; but we had to go at 9 1/2, & as we were very pokey we
did not get down to breakfast till 9 o’clock-hence my great
hurry. We left West P. in the boat, the rest of the way up
the Hudson was not however nearly so interesting, we soon
got out of the Highlands & then it seemed very tame. This
is the most magnificent place we were ever, or are likely
ever, to be in; The view from the front of the house is very
extencive & beautiful
