Saturday June 14th 1873 Nine O.clock note top right: all off for Europe The steamer Abysinian is now putting out from the wharf with my three precious daugthers on board and my son in law Mr T.W. Harvey and his son Charles 12 years old. It was sad to see the vessel get out of sight, but it is for my dear childrens pleasure, so my husband, baby Hunt and Nurse all returned slowly to the Carriage with heavy heart, some friends saw them off. Dr Thoms, his mother, Dr Gilbert and some others waved handkerchiefs until they were out of sight. Mr Chas Angell was with us, he could not sail. When we came on to New York, we stopped at Niagara Falls two days. We enjoyed that very much. The International Hotel. We returned to the Brevoort house and got ourselves ready to go with Mrs Thoms to New Brunswick to see Fanny Faulds. We took lunch with her, met there her grandfather Mr Faulds. New Brunswick is a pretty flourishing place about three hours ride on the Steam Cars the clay there is red, so the streets and every thing looks red. We only stopped there until five O.clock, then returned to New York. Mrs Monugal treated us in Brunswick to a Boquet and her little son Morgan Dix Monugal had mumps. So I kept my baby Hunt from him, went at Seven O.clock with Mr Badger in the Parlour to see Mrs Fisher. Dr Gilbert and some other Gentlemen who called to see the girls. Sunday Morning we took a carriage and went with Fanny Thoms to see her Grandpa and Grandma Faulds. After lunch continued our drive and went to see Mrs James Badger, found them all at home well. Their daughter Hattie has married Mr blank Then we went to see Mrs Brownlow and took miss Fanny Thoms home. We then returned to the Brevoort, sent nurse Mary in to get her tea, and took Hunt with us and went to find Tackler.
