We went on board Monday 26 and sailed on Friday 30 March 1860 for New York. Our passage was a favorable one. We arrived in New York on the 30 of April 1860. We spent one day in Castle Garden & then went on board the steamer "New World" for Albany, [p.14] arrived next morning. We had 10 days journey to Florence & when we landed here we had 1/2 dollar & 20 cents. . . . [p.15]
