I have not met a Yankee yet. We arrived here- New York, on Satitrday night, and were glad to find ourselves at this splendid Hotel, where everything is like the grand Hotel in Paris. Dallett was here to meet us. On Sunday I laid in bed till lo o'clock to rest, after which Dallett took me out to see the fine ladies and gentlemen coming from church. Dined together at 2 o'clock, and then went out for two or three hours to the central Park. At night attended a grand Universalist Church, where we ha...d a beautiful Sermon on " Faith, Hope, and Charity, " by Dr. Chaftin, said to be the greatest orator in the United States. The music was splendid, the choir all professionals, but the congregation does not join. We had the old hymn, "Glory to Thee, &c. , " and the Lord's Prayer— both of which reminded me strongly of home. Though so distant — four-thousand miles, my heart and mind are constantly going out to you all ; and I can assure you the little ones are not forgotten: tell them this, and that I have bought them shoes, made by the Indians from Niagara, and other curiosities.
