Friday June 2. 1876. Went to Cos Cob yesterday afternoon and arranged finally to get the furniture off today. This morning got up at 6, went up to the Grand Union Hotel and got my breakfast and took the 7.10 train from Cos Cob. Set the team at work at once and by noon had all on board the schooner. The Capt. expects to be in N.Y. on Monday morning. Got home about 3.30. Found a letter from Booth and immediately wrote to him.

Sunday 4. Yesterday went down town to see about the paint for the house. Went to the monthly meeting of the Club in the evening. Saw Eastman Johnson. Said Mr. Hoe had called to see his picture. I wrote to Mr. Hoe and asked him to go and see it. Received the check for my picture from the Academy. The Academy closed on Monday night and my two unsold pictures have come home. The sale which Beard got up resulted just as I told him it would, disastrously. I sent a little picture at his request request but I limited it at half its price and it did not sell. This morning Gertrude and I went up to Vauxs by Closter and returned at 5. We had a pleasant night and found it charming there. Showers this evening. Heard a rumor at the club last evening that Church's wrist was so bad that his arm would have to be amputated. Do not believe it but wrote him this evening. Also wrote to Mrs. Lorimer Graham and Gertrude did also.

Friday 9" Tuesday the vessel arrived from Cos Cob with the things from Booths and after making some purchases we got all ready and came up home Wednesday evening. We were left by the 4 o clock train and had to take the 6 o clock train which necessitated our crossing the river in a small boat. It was cool and I already had a cold. I added to it so that I was very ill all that night and all day Thursday but got up today. Meanwhile the vessel arrived here with the furniture from Booths and Maurice attended to getting it up for me and now it is all safely stored in the upper part of the carriage house to my infinite relief for it has been a source of anxiety to me
