Sawthe Common by moonlight,for the first time in my life.It looked beautifully, pond &all, and will repaid us forthe trouble of walking there.May 26. Saturday, Pleasant, but cool.Spent the greater part of theday in Boston, and returnedto Abington at night. Met26 - Susan and Augusta coming tomeet us. Dear good girls! Howwe shall miss each other whenI am far away! As for myself,I shall be so much interestedin all the new things which Ishall see, that I shall not beso lonely as they.
