Editorial Note
Alexandria Wednesday
September 14th, 1859
I embark this evening my dearest Frances
from this port in a vessel that I have
chartered to go to Jaffa – my courier
Smith
Unknown
is with me, and an English Assistant Surgeon
Unknown
in the British
Indian
Army. We go (over land of course) from
Jaffa to Jerusalem and thence back
to Jaffa expecting to take the
French Steamer from that port to
Constantinople on the 29 th of Sep-
tember now
Your own Henry
