I arrived here from the "Germanic"1 a few hours ago:—think that I shall stay here in the Germanic 4 or 5 days, not more, and then shall come on to Camden, where I want to lodge, if I can find a lodging. —simply, one decent clean bedroom will do for me.
We had a squally disagreeable passage, notably so for the time of year.
With love to you from Herbert Harlakenden Gilchrist. loc_jc.00590_large.jpgCorrespondent:
