| Summary: | Audubon wrote the letters while on an expedition in eastern Canada, which included excursions to Nova Scotia, Labrador, and many islands. In the letters he describes the men who are on the trip; the food, clothing, accommodations, and transportation for the expedition; travel plans; and the people, landscapes, climate, and wildlife encountered thus far. He is pleased with the observations they have made and has high expectations for the rest of the journey: "I certainly do expect much information about my own principal study and will work like a horse every moment." |
