some taken - Did I tell you the money came to hand safely shortly after the letters did. You may depend that Billy will have plenty things in the way of news to astonish you all. His coming among them is a good thing to awaken up an interest in the Western excitements. This forenoon I was at the Roman Catholic Cathedral the largest and finest church in the city - Saw the Catholic turn over the heads on the rosary. 'Tis a great sight - When they come in they bow before the crop - and before taking their seats make a crop over the breast - could not but laugh at some of their "peculiarities" The Weather has been cold, today it is snowing the snow melts very slowly.
