Says they are anchored in Gibraltar Bay for the purpose of painting the ship. Says they will probably stay until 1 October, when they expect to be relieved by the "Tuscarora." They will then go to Philadelphia for slight repairs, if not ordered elsewhere. Says his letters are probably uninteresting, but that he cannot find anything interesting to write about. Hopes to get material if they cruise through the West Indies and along the U.S. coast. Written while aboard the USS "Kearsarge"
