Rose half past six; as usual another brilliant morning; Mrs. D. at
breakfast. Ann Butcher, her niece will be with them now that Mrs. Bliss
is gone. Called upon Bradnor, had great difficulty in buying another
copy of "Boy's Letter Writer." Mr. Theodore Bliss came to T. D.'s
warehouse and accompanied us to the steamer, also Webster and R. Wood,
and J. and T. Dean, and Abraham Taylor came with us in the steamer.
Lunched, left us at one. Left New York at 11. The day truly delightful;
only 7 passengers, dined at 4, but little wind and that not favourable;
a shoal of porpoises, 6 and 8 close together. Gave T. D.'s servants two
dollars. Am much pleased with the Captain, mate and crew, and also the
passengers. The steamer left us at 1 and the pilot at half past ten.
Paid for washing 17 pieces including two night caps, 85 cents or
2-1/2_d._ each.
