"... went into [Gerards/Gerands?] & [little?]" - sounds like a store so am searching records/directories identify.
I see this as 'Gerards a little' so have changed it. I hope you can identify Gerards, though it may turn out to be a personal name/address as Lizzie Smith can be found there. Don't you wish Ellen would occasionally make a comment on something rather than just saying where they all went and had meals? There was one instance, some pages back now, where she said how glad she was to have forsworn reading light literature, even though she loved it. That made my day!
Oh, yeaaaah! Of course! That works. No obvious match for "Gerard" in 1860 Baltimore. James and Mary Gerhard show up in 1860 Baltimore, both born around 1800 in Maryland, but none like "Gerand".
(With a wink and a smile) Don't forget about her mentioning all the illnesses ... and deaths, but that was the 19th Century.
