"Ship "Asia," Monday Evening, Cabin 67, May 16th, 1864.-You will like a journal even begun in this terrible hole of suffering humanity. I think so much of you all and of lovely Ryde. Blayney will tell you all about us[1]-of our fog between Holyhead and Kingstown when we stopped in the middle of the sea and nearly ran down a brig, of our friendship with Mr. Maguire, the M. P. for Dungarvan, and of my meeting with Dick. Dear F. was so pleasant in London; he advised B. to pretend he was going to enlist in the Federal army and he would get over for a shilling. Mr. Maguire travelled from Dublin to Cork with us. Conway and I were the only women in the train. You may see by my writing how the ship rolls."
