Wednesday July 22, 1874 - To day is beautiful & sunny, I rose at five and sewed on a new pair of pants for Hunt, got breakfast at eight, then David got a Carriage and he drove and Mattie Faulds, David Hunt, Lizzie the Nurse and myself went in to Denniss town, then went to Yarmou Mass and took a deed down and got a Notary Public to take my signature and returned again to Denniss found dinner all ready, went in and dined, then sat on the Porch and played with Hunt, then after Tea Dr asked us if we would all go with him to see the moon and he would see many things of beauty. We went and walked through fields and potato patches and then came over the hills to the sand bank and on the seashore home, we were very tired we must have walked miles perhaps five miles, we bathed in salt water and went to bed tired. Thursday July 23rd 1874 We rose this morning at seven and dressed quickly for breakfast at half past seven. Hunt came down about nine, went to the porch and wrote a letter and sent it off by post, then sewed on a blue sailor suit for Hunt. Took dinner at one, sewed and at on porch while Hunt played, received letters from Chicago to day. At six we had supper and we walked to the Porch. Came home at eight and got ready for bed. Several new people at our house to night, I weighed and it was 41, 1/2 pounds, Hunt 41 1/2 pounds we all have gained. Friday July 24 1874. Today is beautiful, bright and sunny, all of us well. After breakfast we all went to the beach to see our party from the house go fishing, none of our family went but David and Tom. The party numbered about twenty. They returned about three O.clock, caught about 25 fish all the ladies were sea sick, they came back quite sun burnt. All day I sat on the porch and sewed and wrote, Hunt playing in the sand. After Tea we all put on rubbers and walked to the Beach, the sunsets here are beautiful, we received letters from home saying Belle had given up her trip poor Ada will be sadly disappointed, I have written for her
