[Boston—Tuesday, 10 April 1866]
Tuesday. Tomorrow I expect Laura! What a pleasure it will be to see her. Today a few hours in the little study with the water in the bay as beautiful as spring and haze can make it.
I have finished Mrs Putnam’s book “Fifteen Days.” What grief and what beauty are embalmed there! I dare say the multitude will not care for the book yet all who have seen the lovely face of “Willy Putnam” would wish I should think to see a living picture of his rare character as his mother has embalmed it here.
At Mrs Quincy’s party Mr Loring spoke of the vibrations of sound and light as one, color being simply the more etherial expression of sound.
