References her letter of 21 June, which he received on his arrival to Dover from Cherbourg on 6 July. Will cross over the English Channel tonight to Boulogne, and if they stay there long enough he will buy her the gloves she requested. Reports that "At Cherbourg we were crowded with visitors, among them where Louis Napoleon and the Prince Consort - since our arrival here we have been completely overrun, everybody in England seems anxious to see the famous 'Kearsarge and her guns.'" Says as he is writing this there are two steamers together with a large number of yachts and rowboats, all filled with passengers, out to visit the "Kearsarge." Says they left the "Sacramento" in Cherbourg and that the "Niagara" is cruising in the channel. Tells her the "Ticonderoga" is their relief and is expected in Europe in 2 or 3 weeks. Written on blue paper. Written while aboard the USS "Kearsarge"
