Z. Flitner writes to his daughter after reaching Boston, Massachusetts to tell her about their trip thus far. Flitner, his wife, and Ford took a boat up to Boston and both his wife and Ford were very seasick the first day and night of the trip. Both women recovered and spent most of the rest of the boat ride sewing. Flitner directs his daughter to sent her letters to Captain J. Bailey. Ford is possibly a nickname for Flora.
