174474To Thomas Jefferson from Francis Walker Gilmer, 6 June 1824 (Jefferson Papers)
Within this hour, I have arrived at Liverpool, after a voyage of 26 days from New York to Hollyhead. We were six days beating in St. George’s channel, against a wind dead ahead and it still continuing, I determined to disembark at Hollyhead, & to proceed by land thro’ Wales. I was obliged to come by this place, else I should have gone directly to London. I shall remain here only long enough,...
