Downe tried to convince his wife that America is better than england by giving her an anecdotal story in which he actually experienced a better life. "a farmer took me one day in his waggon int o the country, from Hudson, to see a factory, and I dined with him, and he would not have a farthing, and told me I was welcome to come to his house at any time; they had on the table pudding, pyes, and fruit of all kind that was ins season, and preserves, pickles, vegetables, meat, and everything that a person could wish and the servants set down at the same table with their masters." This is a story of great wealth especially in food and the kindness of the people in America to share this wealth. This is something that differs from life in england that is better.
