I'm having a terrible time with it though because there was very little punctuation used. It's hard to distinguish a period from an ink splatter when he was writing on board a sailing vessel. Maybe I should have found you first, and then shipped (no pun intended) these letters off to you to add all the necessary items so that we can read them fluently!! Maybe punctuation wasn't that important back then. Every letter seems to be one long sentence with no breaks except for a "~" mark at the very end before the salutation. Ah well, I've got my work cut out for me. I've decided to publish these as I decipher them in a wordpress blog and maybe there will be others out there who recognize the ship's name, or some of the people he talks about.<br><br>I envy you homeschooling your children. If I had the chance to do it over again (mine are 14 and 16 and already into high school), I would homeschool. <br><br>Feel free to email me at me08081@yahoo.com.....it would be fun to read your input on the poor Victorian man who couldn't set a period in his letters!
