At three O.clock Dr Hulse read the bible to us and gave us a lecture, it was first rate, he is a good God fearing Man and a warm hearted man, he thinks everything of this Cape Cod, and has gathered many pretty specimens off the shore. after tea we went on the shore among the rocks while the tide was out, retired early. Monday July 20 1874. Today is cloudy. Tom Shreve and James got up early to go fishing, but their Ma thought they had better put it off. All our party are going to the wood after breakfast Hunt and I went with David, Dr Hulse and Mr Lufkins to the Post Office and to the store. It has remained cloudy all day but no rain. I am making Hunt a new suit of clothes, letters came today from Mr Badger Sheridan, they all well. Mr Angell has been sick but is now better. All the rest well. Teusday July 21, 1874 This morning I rose at six, found it dark and rainy. Got our breakfast at half past seven, then remained all morning in my room sewing on a new suit for Hunt to play in, all of us well. Hunt's new picture from New York came today, it is good. I had a letter from Mrs Badger, they all well. After dinner we all went to the beach to throw stones in the water and play with sand. I bathe Hunt in Salt water and myself also.
