A most glorious Sunday. Will went to Milton.
I wrote a number of letters this A.M. Took a
ride this P.M. for between 2 & 3 hrs. The coun-
try is looking beautiful. Towards Sudbury, I
saw some fine farms. I went to the P.O.
then straight to Sandy Pond, then west on
North St. to the road over Baker’s Bridge to
the North Road, then straight west through
Nine-Acre-Corner, No. Sudbury to Maynard,
then by the Powder Mills Road through Concord
Junction, and home by Main St. & Lowell St.
Distance 20 miles. I did enjoy it. By
the roadside a little west of Nine-Acre-Corner
I saw the roadside lined profusely with
Tephrosia in full flower. Heard stories
of the Civil War this evening from Miss
Addie & Miss Harriet Buttrick. Miss Harriet
taught the negroes in Charleston, Richmond,
Camden S.C. & Somerville S.C. for 8 years.

Glorious day, clear, cool. Collected a little this A.M. as seen below.
Wheeled this A.M. 15 ½ m. Liberty, Lowell St., Barretts Mill Rd to
Reformatory, E. Acton and on to Nagog Pond. I just crossed the
line in Littleton. The Pond is a most beautiful sheet of
water. Returned to Reformatory and home by Elm St. through
the center of Concord. Short nap this P.M. read “Monastery."
Took a 6 m. wheel to the village and on the Lexington
Road to the Old Bedford Road, where a tablet tells that
the British on their retreat were flanked by Concord & other
men and driven on to Charleston. Read “Monastery”
in the evening.
