bark Rubens 1869

In Fra Norge til America volume 3 there is a letter dated April 15 1869 from Ole Gudmundsen Forsetvolden who is about to board the bark Rubens in Christiana. He tells of his jourrney from Gausdal to Christiania and mentions some of the other passengers going to Quebec. He also writes about some who left that day on a steam ship and he is glad he is going by sail: "We will be longer on our way but we have time enough." I mention this only because there is no passenger listt for this departure.
