In 1855 Watson came back to New York after a five- year absence and extended his travel to Long Island. He men- tioned that Long Island had always seemed little visited until the railroad made transportation easier. Watson remembered the New York of his youth and recalled seeing Dutch houses that were painted red. He remembered when expenses were moder- 118 Manuscripts ate "and hospitality and friendly greetings were everywhere abounding." Watson noted that the New York of his old age was a bus...y, pushy, noisy, vainglorious show where there were abundant riches and palatial expenditures. "I felt," Watson con- fided, "that New York was a place to visit & to see wonder, but not to abide." Watson also made quick trips to places in the vicinity of his home in Philadelphia. In addition to Cape May, he went to other New Jersey shore towns, including Long Branch and Mana- hawkin, where he stayed at "The Mansion of Health." Watson traveled on the Delaware Canal; went to Harrisburg, Pennsylva- nia; and journeyed through Chester County, Pennsylvania, where he owned property, and through several New Jersey towns where he had friends and in which he had spent time as a youngster.
