[Campton—Wednesday, 6 June 1866]
June 6th In Campton. A whole busy month has whirled away unrecorded, too much occupied with visitors, housekeeping, to allow an hours writing and hardly of reading. Today raining we have come from Concord having left mother and Sarah comfortable at Brattleboro, to find dear old Willey’s only more lovely more homelike more serene than ever. We are happy tonight. It is my birthday and Jamie makes a festival of it in his thought.
