though light clouds occasionally obscured the sun. We spent most of the day on deck, where we took our rocking chairs, and sat very comfortably, with our cloaks and bonnets on. Papa and Dick walked the deck most of the time, Mama knit and Caroline and myself sewed on our patchwork. We had some conversation with some of our fellow passengers?, whom we found had arrived in N.Y. but, the day before they left there, and like ourselves were bound for the west. The scenery along the river at this time of the year was indeed beautiful. The many farms, landings or villages formed as many a handsome scene for a frontier. We arrived at the highlands about dusk, which seen in the twilight appeared very gloomy and yet subblime. They cast a long shadow in the water, which was quite calm and smooth, making it appear as black as night. We watched a long time to catch a glimpse of the Anthony's nose, which is a point in the rocks, said to bear an exact resemblance of a man's Nose. 20th We were awakened about three, with the news that the boat would land in Albany, which we did not expect. We were soon prepared to go on shore, and leaving our baggage on board to proceed to Troy, we proceeded to Mrs Moseleys in Hamlinton St at the foot of which we were landed. We found none of them up, but soon aroused them. We took breakfast and then called on Mrs Cordell, whom we found very well, and busy preparing and painting. Caroline staid with her to play with June, and Mama Papa Dick and myself proceeded to Franklin's store. After purchasing what goods we wanted we went to his house and took dinner. before this however, Papa had been to Troy and back, having seen our goods and baggage on board of a canal boat and engaged our unknown. After dinner we returned to Mrs Moseley's. Towards night, Harriet and i went out to take a walk and were met by Papa and Charles who had been out for the same purpose.
