XX<\/p>\n

Assuredly one of the purestly loveliest days it is possible to see on earth. From sunrise all day & evening & night hardly a breath of air, & the sky pure blue \u2015 a few bright clouds at sunset: the sea a perfect mirror<\/em>, \u2015 hardly rippled, & almost noiseless. \u2015\u2015 Rose at 7 \u2015after a sleepless night. No letters. Placed outlines of Mt. Athos, Sc[h]loss Elz, & Matterhorn on canvass, & then wrote \u2015 absurdly & continually all day long \u2015 till 6. Posted 24 letters. During the day, the bathers, walkers, churchgoers, sprawlers on the sand, sitters on the shingles, loiterers on the benches, \u2015 were all happy to see. At 6 to Mr. Crakes<\/a>: Mrs. Hamilton<\/a>, Mary Ann<\/a> \u2015\u2015 Vandelen & Mrs. V.<\/a> Mrs. V. I thought nicer than before. The old Gentleman is visibly feebler & this fading is sad to see, yet requisite.<\/p>\n

Came away at 10.<\/p>\n

Was playing the Piano when Miss T. burst in \u2015\u2015 &<\/p>\n

\u201cO please Sir, Miss Pipkins is ill & the lamp & the Doctor says it may be dangerous as she was a sleeping of a sudden and we\u2019re very sorry, but the light is out, & the fever, & the music is a hopes you\u2019ll pardon him.\u201d<\/p>\n
