Relates his tumultuous travels to brother-in-law Paige en route to New York while on board the ship, "The Fanny." Informs that he acquired a team of horses to continue by land to New Haven, Connecticut, and attests to his family's well-being, stating that the worst they experienced was seasickness. Instructs Paige to inform Mr. Blake (possibly George Blake, a family friend in Boston) of the family's location. Document written at eight o'clock. Year added in pencil at a later date.
