Editorial Note

William Henry Seward’s series of travel letters in 1859 are organized and listed by the date of each entry
May 19, Thursday
Off Scilly –
My dear Fanny
The water is green beneath
us which shows we are on Soundings. The
birds hover around us and welcome us in
The shores of merry England are on either
side, of us – Tomorrow morning we debark at
Southampton, and two hours afterward I
shall be in London
your affectionate father
William H Seward
