Introduction

Hello Mr. Trumbull. Pleasure to make your acquaintance. I too am from Middlemarch. I was very intrigued at Mr. Marlow’s navigation on a steamer ship. Oh how I wish I could learn from him all of his knowledge from his travels. I am sure he is very wise indeed and maybe he could teach me on subjects where I am naive. I was astonished at the conditions he encountered of the local people. The poverty they were accustomed to live in and the lack of food. I wish there was a way I could build shelters for these poor people or provide some form of sustenance to sustain them. I shall make my voice heard to try to influence someone who may be able to help them where I cannot.
