TO JOHN McKINLAY, ESQ.


My dear Mr. McKinlay,

To no one could I more appropriately dedicate this effort to portray the difficulties and hardships experienced during our trip across the Continent, than to you, our worthy Leader, who piloted us through the wilderness, and brought us again to the haunts of our fellow men, with such intrepidity and judgment.

Yours very truly,
JOHN DAVIS.
Adelaide, February, 1863.
