57. Letter from R. Swain Gifford to his
wife Fanny ( June 29, 1879), provided by
Richard C. Kugler, Director Emeritus,
New Bedford Whaling Museum, New
Bedford, MA. According to this letter,
the group left New York on Friday eve-
ning, so by the time they neared Albany
at the date of the letter, Thursday, June
29, they would have been traveling six
days, which is consistent with the article
which states they left on June 23rd;
however, the article suggests a much
shorter timespan from when they left
New York until they reached Albany. 76. Ibid.
