The coldness of the weather, rains, and a smart touch of Rhumatism, at
the close of last week, have interrupted my Seawater baths till this
morning when at 10. I went in at the wharf with T. B. Adams junr. and with Antoine— At eleven the Mayor of Boston came out with Governor Kent of Maryland his two Aide de Camps Colls Culbreth and
Doane, a Mr and Mrs Peyton of Richmond, Virginia, with their
Son and Miss Ritchie, daughter to the Editor of the Richmond Enquirer. They
had been visiting the railway, which was one of the Governor’s objects
in this excursion from his State— He told me that he had seen my wife, and her part of the
family, at Saratoga Springs last Thursday Evening. He said he proposed
leaving Boston, upon his return home next Friday— At a quarter past two
I went with Antoine into Boston, and called at Dr. Welsh’s
where I saw his daughter Harriet,
and my Son George, who came out to
Quincy in the Stage. I dined at Mr Webster’s with Governor Kent
and his aids, Mr Bailey from the Eastern Shore of Maryland,
Messrs. Thorndike, B. Joy,
G Blake, D. Sears, W.
Elliot, T. Fuller,
and two or three others. Mrs Webster told me
that Mr and Mrs
Agg, had been these five or six weeks at Boston. Mr Thornton urged me
warmly to pay him a visit at Beverley. In the Evening I returned to
Quincy, and found company at my
brothers. Mr and Mrs John Greenleaf, with
Louisa Smith, and Mary Norton, Mr Marston and his
family, Mr G.
Beale and his niece Miss
Wayles— A Son of Mr Pleasonton was also
here, a visitor to T. B. Adams junr. Louisa
Smith told me she should return to Boston to-morrow. I wrote to the
Secretary of War— Planted
Plumstones, and apple and pear seeds in seedling bucket N. 3.— One of
the striped Vine worms chrysalized this day on a Vine leaf— The English
walnut worms feed, grow, and have turned nearly black.
