So it is no use to wait for me to go home. Go on yourselves.  
If I were in the east now, I could stop the publication of a piratical  
book which has stolen some of my sketches.  
It is late-good-bye, Mollie,  
Yr Bro  
SAM.  
To Mrs. Jane Clemens and Mrs. Moffett, in St. Louis:  
HONOLULU, SANDWICH ISLANDS, June 21,1866.  
MY DEAR MOTHER AND SISTER,--I have just got back from a hard trip  
through the Island of Hawaii, begun on the 26th of May and finished  
on the 18th of June--only six or seven days at sea--all the balance  
horse-back, and the hardest mountain road in the world. I staid at  
the volcano about a week and witnessed the greatest eruption that has  
occurred for years. I lived well there. They charge $4 a day for board,  
and a dollar or two extra for guides and horses. I had a pretty good  
time. They didn't charge me anything. I have got back sick--went to bed  
as soon as I arrived here--shall not be strong again for several days
