Aboard Eliza. Coles relates another dream, in which he returned to his father-in-law's residence in Jamaica, New York only to find Catherine unhappy at his homecoming. In his dream, Coles "at once burst into Tears." Upon awakening, he is thankful that "I put no confidence in dreams." Admits to "how happy a man am I to be bless'd with the Girl who ever since I was 14 years of age I have been wishing to call my own." The sheet also contains two poems writen by Coles for Catherine.
