"The health of St. Louis, of the state of Missouri, and our neighbour, Illinois, has been most excellent the present summer. No mountain region could be expected to be more so: and to this great blessing we have another to add, that of the unparalleled fruitfulness of the season. Every species of crop is most abundant; every tree, or vine, or bush, in the wood that bears a nut, a grape, or a berry is loaded with its appropriate production. The like of it has never been seen: and to crown these advantages or rather to join in the enjoyment then, is the great stream of emigration now pouring into the country. The roads are filled with moving families. They pass in crowds daily through the town, and cannot go amiss for rich land: that are low, accessible and hard to be got in many places. To the ready acquisition of every man that has a little money, or a little credit, or a little industry."
