[Subsection]

Galena, October 12th.

Again up and again well, after two days of severe headache, during which I was waited upon and cared for in the kindest manner by a kind-hearted little Irish girl belonging to the house. I could scarcely have been better attended to in my own home. And no one could possibly perform that uneasy journey through Wisconsin without having something to remember as long as he lived; but with it the severest part of my Western journey is accomplished. And I am sound in body and limb, have possession of reason and of all my senses, and every thing has gone on so well, and I now feel myself so perfectly restored to my usual good state of health, that I can only be heartily contented and thankful.

I shall not leave Galena until Monday, because the good steam-boat Menomonie, so called from an Indian tribe, does not proceed up the Mississippi to St. Paul's before that day.

I shall, in the mean time, enjoy my liberty at this excellent hotel, and my rambles among the picturesque hills of the neighborhood. Good-night, beloved! I embrace mamma and you, and greet cordially all my good friends both in and out of the house.
