that he need not go to Albany but had things so
aranged that it was unneccessary. I then took my
blankets when he told me that he had been thinking
of letting me have some money so that I need not march
all the way. I was very much struck with this
kind offer, as I never had thought of such a thing. I
thanked him & told him that I could not expect any
thing from him as he had already done so much
for me, an entire stranger to him. So he gave me
4.00 dollars which will carry me home. I then found
out that also a steamer leaves from here tonight
for N.Y. & I decided to take this road as the least
expensive one. Miss Mary & Martha Wells the
Kaptains Sisters in law, were exceedingly
kind to me. I promised to write to them as
soon as convenient. I am now waiting for
the steamboat to leave & hope that by Sunday
morning I shall be with my dear once.
