Part of: Packet Ship Liverpool Letters
Rare Books & Special Collections, Hesburgh Libraries
August 8: Aboard Eliza. Word of the ship's progress, and expressions of love for Catherine. August 9: Coles relates a dream of the previous night in which he returned home and "as soon as You Catherine saw me you got up and went out of the house without speaking to me." This reminds him of a strange fear he had of Liverpool prior to its departure, and how his uncle had advised him that "if I was fearfull of her that I had better not go in her."
