Rutson Maury, aboard the Asia, to "Ann", 1861 August 10
Scope and Contents
Our voyage has been quiet; no ice, no storms, and I hear little about the war [appears to be a passenger transport ship, non-military]. Last night there was some pleasant singing before I retired to bed. I have been watching other passengers, such as the œtwo-faced ladies. Recalls past loves. 1 page.
