User-Contributed Transcription Boston, United States, October 31. --My dear MotherI am now on my return to Halifax from St. Louis, and I am happy to say that it will be a consolation to me for the rest of my life, having made a pilgrimage to poor Georges grave, and ascertained how satisfactorily everything had been done, both as regards his burial, and the care taken of him during his illness. You must not be surprised at not hearing for me before this. -- for since the 22d of September I have been travelling night and day. -- St. Louis is in the state of Missouri, the extreme end of the United States, near the Rocky Mountains --
