I have written a longer letter to Mr. Hunter to mail along with this. He may let you see it, although it is mostly about business matters connected with the University-work. Will write you again from Victoria and also from Rio de Janeiro. L. Bruner.
Pernambuco, Brazil
May, 14th 1897
Dear Marcia:-
Well we have finally reached our first port out of New York after a tedious voyage of 15 days and 10 hours. Nothing very eventful occurred en route beyond about 14 days of sea sickness, and 13 days without seeing even so much as another vessel of any description. The ship rolled considerably most all the way, but not what we would call very rough. While I was not real sick I could not go to the table more than three or four times.
The country here looks beautiful from the ship as it lies in harbor, but how it will be on land I cannot tell as we have not yet landed. Hope to do so today. Will be here for 3 or 4 days then go on to Victoria and later to Rio Janeiro.
I will not write you a long letter now
