If Miss _Emily Addis_ will furnish us with a small, or rather, a large quantity of eatables to carry with us (for we intend staying all day) we shall go in great style.... Went down to Mr. Brace’s to see Miss Betts on so important a subject as our trip to Jubilee from Mrs. B’s we went to Mr. Lord’s to get Mrs. B’s permission for Miss B to accompany us—and from there M. Denison and myself returned to Mr. B’s, from there we went to the drivers to give divers other directions, and after having thus settled all necessary preliminaries to our _each every_ and _either_ satisfaction we have once more returned to the North Turret of St. Pierce’s Castle. We were in high spirits this P. M. Miss Denison was Caroline Wilhelmina and I was her cousin Edwin, just returned from Europe. I gave Caroline an invitation to accompany me to the Theatre. She in her character of Caroline is very _interesting_ but very _ignorant_. We dressed accordingly; M. Austin was the actress. She was in a graceful kneeling posture, I said “encore” Caroline had one of her _wise_ looks, when happening to look up I saw Miss Pierce standing in the door, a silent spectator of the farce before her. We felt rather awkward, but Miss Pierce dispelled it very soon by one of her good natured laughs.... June 10^{th} W. has just returned from New York. She is not so very unpleasant as she has been represented to me. As I expected she is rather affected but she may possess many good qualities which I hope we shall discover to her advantage. Went down to the Bantam to day Misses Austin & Beebe in search of mint.... Went on board-[walk] a great place of resort for the _fashionables_.... The bell rings for nine. I must bid you “good night” my dear Mama, although you cannot hear me. June 22^{nd} 5 o’clock At six we go to Canaan. I expect the carriage every moment. My “companions at arms” are Misses Denison, Austin, and Misses M and S. Tufts, & Miss Weyman. ½ past 7. We have just returned from Canaan. It is between twenty and thirty miles from L. the road passes through a delightful country. We sang most of the time some of the tunes were Mary’s Fears, Blue-eyed Mary, Love’s young dream, There’s nothing true but Heaven. Happiness seemed to reign over our little party & was never expelled, excepting some of the party were a little sick, and this sickness seemed to flee away when we were singing. In some places we had the distant view of a little village, at others the hills appeared to rise one above another and behind some of [?] the spire of a church could be indistinctly seen.
