[Manchester—Tuesday, 10 September 1867]

Tuesday. Dull again and warm.

Lucy Larcom passed the afternoon here. Whittier’s rather ill and depressed by the weather—wandered about the shore. Finished “La Tulipe Noire” a lovely tale.

In the evening came J. with letters, from Miss Thackeray, Laura and others. He has said farewell to Mr Dolby and was tired as they had been to Nahant to lunch with Longfellow and afterward dined together in town with Whipple and Aldrich and the firm—nevertheless we went to a temperance meeting for the sake of the villagers. Rabardy the French one-legged patriot for the land of his adoption urged us strongly to go and we could not say “no.”
