Mrs. Perrin said she was going to write to her husband "10:30 - Dear George. I have just returned from a ball" &c. &c. I was sur- prised to find how many people I knew there. Aug. 1. Saturday The dear boy's 30th birthday! Was up by seven and soon dressed and ready for the fray. Mrs. Miller was down early, too, to start for the station on her wheel and everyone else - even Wiltsie - came down early to see us off. I had finished breakfast (8:40) but the rest had not, except Mrs. Miller, who started still earlier - when the stage arrived. I bade everyone goodbye and my wheel, trunk, bag &c. were loaded on. Alice, dear girl thanked me for coming(!) and was as lovely as she could be. Wiltsie "squoze" my hand and said "now young woman come again" &c. very cordially and Gurdon gave a sweet kiss. It took two minutes or so to swallow the lump in my throat when I left those three dear people. Then I enjoyed a pleasant ride to Wells and rather an entertaining conversation with Mr. Jacob - the driver and only other occupant, except numerous mail bags &c. It was a lovely mor- ning. I reached the station just in time to check my trunk & express my wheel before the train came. Mrs. Miller had been waiting half an hour. We had a pleasant ride to Boston - read about the murder and "Lester Monks, the Harvard student" &c. At Rockingham Junction we got off for "angel's food and milk" (by Wilsie's advice.) and reached Boston just a few minutes late. Mr. Miller did not appear but I said goodbye to Mrs. M. who wants me to let her know sure when I come to
