A week ago, today was the 4th of July & not only
the anniversary of our glorious independence
but also of my arrival in California having
at that time passed one year in the country
during which time, although I have improved
my pecuniary affairs but little, I have been
graciously preserved from sickness & dangers
of all kinds, & have from time to time heard
of your good health & comfortable situation
for all of which blessings, I certainly ought
to feel thankful. What changes may take place
in our family ere another year rolls round?

How many years must pass before we are
again permitted to meet if ever?

These questions time only can decide which as
you truly say, "explains the why's & wherefore's ..
& again to use your expression "let us hope for
the best" the worst is ever present
''

Eve -- I spent the 4th in viewing the military &c during
the day, & went to the Theatre in the evening in
company with Wm. Green [William Green] & two other of my ac-
quaintances. But after all it was to me a dull 4th.

The good ship Stag Hound arrived here again
the 1st inst from New York, having made the
passage in just the same number of days that
she did last year, Vis 124 -- having left N. Y.
this year the 24th of Feb just 4 days earlier than I
started. She is still here in port & looks natural
I assure you as she was once my home
