All the rest well we ordered dinner for our party at three, had a nice dinner including Ice Cream and Cake, at four our party were all packed, Mr Harvey, Belle, Maggie and baby all came up to see us, and to dine with us. Also to urge me to go with our party to the Seashore. I at first I positively refused to go on account of leaving so many of my children at home, but at last I concluded to go and in twenty minutes I as packed, and Hunt and I dressed and ready to go. We left the house at five O.clock and my family consisting of my husband, Mr and Mrs Harvey, Mr and Mrs Angell, Ada Sheridan Shreve and Octavius, Ada was to have gone on this trip but she gave up her pleasure for me to go, and her sister Belle will bring her on with her, in a few days. After we got in the Car we had very comfortable quarters, my Section was made up for only one, so I had a very nice bed, it was a beautiful night for travelling cool and no dust we travelled safely all night, our Conductor was polite and kind, we had a basket of lunch, so did not go to supper.
