Dear Emmanuel Mansfield

This trip is looking to be very exciting.  Though I dare say, I hardly know what types of peoples I will be seeing.  Natives of all sorts, I should expect.  Our journey will begin in Peru.  I have heard many a tale about the City of the Gods, Machu Picchu.  I am told that orchids grow everywhere.  Can you imagine what an orchid must look like?  Neither can I. Though, I hasten the day I will find out.  Our trunks are being sent down to the shipyard ahead of us.  The travel will be wearisome, but worth the effort.  I will try to bring you back some sketches of what I see.

Sincerely,
Mrs. J. Marshall
