During the partition the families had to leave their homes and only take few things and move and had to walk by foot in order to get to the other side of the border
For the answer to the question above,
Dear John,
Our journey from Vietnam has been very rough, with so many sick people on this ship, yet it would be better than the czar's army. I will write again when I am ready for a wife. The Americans here did not take to kindly to us immigrating. I hope this life works out.
Sincerely,
Miss Philadelphia
