Edwd & I went in the surry to
Brighton to call upon my old friend
Thomas S. Stabler, who recently
returned from the Sheppard
Asylum near Towson in Balto. Co
he seems in exellent health and
spirits. We took Fanny & baby
as far as "Homewood" & left them
there. Afternoon Willie came
& spent an hour or two with us
going back to "Homewood" to tea.
I went to the P.O. the thermometer
stood at 92^o on the store
porch in shade.

seemed to "melt away", but after
supper a thunder gust passed
south of us and we may have
one before tomorrow morning.
