Today Male and I
attended service at New Rochelle
and dined with the Lockwoods.
A very pleasant time indeed. The
little girls are very interesting.
Yesterday they visited
us on the island and we carried
them home in the Genl’s barge.

My trip to Albany was
quite pleasant.

The number of heroic dead
increased by two – Lawrence +
Clark. I can hardly think of it.
The bloody bloody sacrifice.
