[Boston—Thursday, 6 June 1872]

Thursday, 6th of June—my birthday. Dear Jamie arranged the loveliest little dinner ever seen for me and Lissie came to share it. The bill of fare was a study—it was equally amusing and exquisite. I know no one but dear J. who could get up such a thing especially after a marriage of 18 years. There never was anything like it.
