Delightfully cool and
pleasant day. Willie did
not feel well enough to go to

Peirce came & spent the afternoon
& to tea with us. This is
Edward's ninth birth day, &
we had a little "tea party" for
him, his cousin Alice Dickinson

down to the Eut's to have the coupling
lengthened & the body
swung lower between the
springs. After supper Charley
went away driving Bulwar's
horse. to "Olney Grange" &^c &^c.
