| Title | Lord St. Helens to Lady Agnes FitzHerbert: "I am still lost in wonder at the marvellous celerity of your voyage, owing to this marvellous invention of steam-packets. How different from former times! when I never had the fortune to accomplish even the shortest passage in less than 48 hours, and was once at sea between Holyhead and Dublin during 3 days and 2 nights in the midst of winter, with the waves constantly inundating the decks and cabin ... I shall anxiously await Sir Henry's report of dear Richard's debut at Drogheda" |
