July 16 Friday
A beautiful morning but I feel quite "done up". Went to the office
& J.G. offered to let me come
right home - but I didn't till the noon mail - Gilmore bade me farewell & JG. & JW
& "Mart" & the boys. I met
Ned, Edith, & Chat. We
bought our tickets & things & I came home to pack. I packed &
got ready things all the p.m. and my trunk went at 7:30. Con came up after supper and brought a big
box of candy and then we rode out to the park together before he
went back to the office to work.
Mrs. Behn sent me ice cream & we had
phosphate &c. and Mrs. Weaver came & later
the Behn girls & boys to bid me goodbye
July 17 Sat.
Lovely day. I weigh 131 - Edith
101. I felt much better & got up before six & got off to the
station in good shape with Mama.
Con came to see me off, and after
we were on the train, Mary too.
And we had quite an affecting farewell in the cars - no one went to
Charlotte with us. The trip
across was perfectly delightful cool & a nice breeze on the hurricane
deck and a smooth water & clouds enough to take off the glare. I
read "Father Stafford" and we ate lettuce sandwiches &c.
& enjoyed it. We killed time in Port Hope by
eating a very bad dinner at the "Queen's" & going
shopping for postage stamps tooth powder & hammocks &c. and we
rode over in a "hack" from the station & took
