It is a nasty horrid rainy day, but pretty soon I shall go to chapel and hear a good sermon to make up for the bad day. Lyman Abbot is to preach and I know he will be fine.
I am very anxious to know whether Constance’s mother is better or not. How dreadful for her to be so ill when Constance is away, but the two oldest boys are

A Mrs Northrop sang very well though not remarkably, and a blind man, William Worth Bailey, played the violin.
