Thurs June 6th.  Boston
Slept so well and went out first by Esplanade to Rhodes where I did the best I could without list. Then down town for various small things including n new patents for N.H. and got a glass tea screen for Miss Brown . Thereby giving myself much pleasure. Also before leaving in the quiet of Anne's spare room I wrote a letter to J.W.
  Had time to rest after lunch and get off in 4.3 Rain and took Reed .. Anna and Natale very welcomin[[g?]] and the place looking very well INSIDE but the grass foot and a half high and making all desolate of course 
 New room and windows very pleasing and full of promise and the little gable not very funny. 
Bridget smilin[[g]] in kitchen and a comfort to be sure. 
  S1 soon after supper.. No one else here .. Of course the new erection atbthe corner a horror .. I began at once to plan to hide it. Color not right in my room and of course I do not sleep ther[[e?]] yet. Full of thoughts of my new friends. 
Fri June 7th.
Dark and cold .. I had break in Aunt E's room by window..Garland soon after .. and went all over everything.  No new from Terence and am expecting him. Mrs Andrew at Delphine.  waiting for the bab[[y?]] 
   I flew at everything .  Weeds terrible in gard[[en?]]
Too wet and no tools to get N at the grass.

Sat June 8th. 
Still so cold and dismal and many things dead. My beautiful lillies of last year on the terrace gone .. and no hope . Also the Dorothy P rose on step rail to the upper loggia. It seems no use. Men working at paint and coloring my wall.
No news from Terence.   S1 in eve A comfort to have him.
