[Boston—Friday, 31 May 1872]

Friday morning. Celia sang a little ballad at Breakfast. The words Mr. Whittier picked up among the people of Orr’s Island, the music is one of the Star Island tunes. It is a weird little thing enough & she sings it delightfully. Went to obtain an admission to the Hospital in the P.M., also to make calls and in the evening we went to see mother & Sarah, who leave for Nahant tomorrow.
