January 13 Tuesday – Sam sent a dispatch to Livy that he was boarding the Parthia for home. Livy reported the contents of the note to Mollie Clemens and remarked that this was five days earlier than he’d expected to sail, probably due to his inability to secure lecture dates in Ireland. The Parthia left Liverpool [MTL 6: 20].

January 13 to 26 Monday – Little is known about the voyage and Sam’s activities, but in a letter of Feb. 13 to William E. Baille, he mentioned Samuel Morrin from Montreal and Rev. R. Dunn who was traveling to California [MTL 6: 30n1]. Note: see Feb. 13 to Baille.
