Well we got late to Bangor, after a hot day. Samuel was waiting for Lucy with horse & wagon. I stopped at the City with Eliab Went to First Parish Prayer Meeting. Saw Lissy Doe, & Eliab tried to persuade he to go to the Literary Society of which he spake at Milo. She, as was anticipated would have nothing to do with it; and I guess Eliab concluded so too, and did not go near it.Thurs. morn, I walked down to Hampden. Rode down to Village to see Chum Baker of Hampden Academy. Dined at Mr. Crosby's, and up to Bangor with Lucy. She Making calls. I went up to N. Harlow's with her, &c.

Also Mrs. J.P. Veazie on way to Topsham.The Passage was an extremely rough one, almost every body was sick. I got asleep & slept through it all, without being sick; but perhaps I should have felt better if I had, it was so very rough it disarranged me, and when I eat & drank at N. Berwick it made me vomit, and so I got over it. We did not reach Boston till Midnight or after. Adams House & the Morning Express Train to Manchester. rain in last night
