I walked through the Burnt district of Pittsburgh. It looked dismal. Father went with me. We left Pittsburgh at 10 oclok on the Clipper & rode through the day & night. Father lost both our umbrellas & A silk Handkerchief out of the stage & to day He lost his best Hat over board & another Hand kerchief in it.
