My Dear Psyche:
Since Mamma does not like long letters I guess that I will write the long ones to you and Helen; and I am going to write long ones too. Of course you will look on the map to see where I am now while writing this letter. You will notice that it is at the eastern part of the continent of South America even below the mouth of the river Amazon. It is 8 degrees south of the equator; and the equator divides the earth into two equal parts. When it is winter north of this line it is summer south, and when the summer is north it is winter south. It is now fall down here and spring up north. This place is too close to the equator to get cold. It is in the torrid zone or hot belt on the earth.
Well, I want to begin my letter with sailing from New York, and telling you something of the journey from there here and what I saw. Then I want you to put the letters away and save them for a kind of book about my South American trip. I will not take any other notes than these.
