Receiving pictures like these are things that make me happy that i will be going to America. People walking freely amongst the streets. No diseases floating around terrorizing everyone in the country making them leave. It just seems so perfect of a place to live and raise a family.
Trees and bushes this high must be a spectacular thing to look at and walk by. The women on the side look interested and content, except the one in the center seems to be angry and furious. I hope the men in the back are not the ones making her so mad. It is very bad for a women to her self worked up like that, it destroys her kindness and leaves her like an old hag. No one likes them.
Other then that lady, i believe America will be great, people kind as they can be, children happy and playing around the streets. Everyone has a smile on their faces and no one seems upset.
But...there was something in Mary's letter a couple of months back that said that Irish peoples can hardly find a job. I hope she is wrong, but just in case she is right, i will bring all the silver coins i can find and take it with me in a bag. Maybe i can sell them for money, and find some where to live and get a job working as a seamstress again. And Ronan and i can live together...it would be a lot easier to make a living that way.
Oh how America will be so grand. I can not wait till we leave tomorrow. A steam boat will take us. Only a couple of weeks i believe until we get there, at least that is what i have heard from everyone chatting about leaving...i really wish my parents could come with us, yet i will leave my birth place and set out for a new life but will never forget what they have taught me and how much they loved me and i them.
