To My Family,
It brings tears to my eyes that i will not see you or the city of Boston ever again. I am currently living in the state of California. i have always wondered what it is like over here there are many new things out west that you don't have in the east. there are a few reasons why I am leaving you guys forever.
the main reason why I am leaving you all forever is because of the gold rush. if i can become rich with gold i invite all of you to come. if you do come to visit i advise you that getting here is not so easy. Someone you know will sadly pass away if u try to come here this is why I advise you not to come on this long journey. Being rich will also bring a good life. I will have nice things and maybe even a new family here. Although I know I could never replace you I just want something different. It can't hurt to try to become successful and powerful.
Many people have tried coming here. Some have even succeeded. Lewis and Clark were the first to make it for I have been following their footsteps. They have truly inspired me to go on this long long journy. I have always wanted to discover new places. Places nobody has ever been before. For this is my main goal. One place that I have travled through is the Rocky Mountains. They are so big so huge and so tough to get over. I thought I wasn't gonna make it.
So this is my final farewell to you. I love you all so very much and I hope you know that. I know that I will most likely never see you again but I know I will miss you all very very much. I have a new life now and it is time for me to move on. I strongly to advise you to move on as well. I will never forget any of you.
Love,
Allyn J Seamans
