quent; in short it was evident that we had entered a different region even if the police and custom house officers had not let us know that we were now in the kingdom of Bavaria. We passed through extensive forests of fir, here and there checkered with farms, and finally came to the broad elevated plain bathed by the Isar, in which Munich is situated. I thought to have given you some account of this city but my sheet is full and I must leave it for another letter.--

MANUSCRIPTS: NYPL-GR (complete and partial drafts) ADDRESS: To William Leggett ENDORSED (by Bryant): My letter to / W. Leggett / Aug 1835 PUBLISHED: EP for September 19, 1835; LT I, pp. 42-54.

Neither letter has been recovered.

Hannah had handled EP accounts since Charles Burnham's retirement from the firm the preceding November. Bryant later called him a "drunken and saucy clerk" who kept the books in a "very slovenly manner." See Letter312; Cullen to Frances Bryant, April 27, 1836, and Bryant to Dana, June 28, 1838, NYPL-GR.

The rest of this letter was published with minor changes in the EP, and, except for the final sentence, in LT I.

In 1834 several hundred refugees from the vain Polish revolt against Russia landed at New York and were later given public lands in Illinois by Congress. This began Polish emigration to this country. Morison, History of the American People, p. 480.

Ezekiel 27:27.

Lorenzo Da Ponte had given Bryant letters to several friends in Italy, calling him therein his "pupil," and "one of my dearest friends." But since the addressees of those letters which have been recovered lived in Milan and Parma, which Bryant did not visit, they were undelivered, and are in NYPL-BG and NYPL-GR. Da Ponte seems to have supplied no introductions to persons at Cenada.
