The topics include: a Fourth of July celebration in Philadelphia; the death of his aunt, Mrs. Jane Hamilton; gratitude for a gift of slippers; a visit paid to New York; the politics of Ireland; a reception of the Pennsylvania Volunteers by the citizens of Philadelphia following the soldier's return from the Mexican War; hymns written for Trinity Church (Philadelphia) at Christmas; New York politics; and other family sentiments.
