These two sketches were made by Mr. Church and sent to Mrs. Field; across the back of the larger one is written, "Mr. Field and Mr. Church in the procession." There is a Spanish proverb, "Never leave a river before you or your baggage behind."

Church, of New York, who have been travelling for the last six months in South America.
