Fine day. Trip to Cohasset. Evening at the Mansion.

This day has been fixed upon for the party to Cohasset which has been in agitation ever since my marriage without ever having before been executed. The Carriage took my Wife, Miss Cutts and three children while I went in the Carryall hired for the occasion, with Mrs. John Adams and two girls. We had a pleasant trip down and met there Elizabeth C. Adams and her brother with Mr. Campbell, and subsequently Dr. and Mrs. Frothingham with three children. Our amusements were much as they usually are at this barren spot.1 Walking to one beach and riding to Nantasket. The day was lovely. We then dined and had some agreeable singing from the gentlemen, after which we made an arrangement to return home. We arrived before sunset and upon getting there, how I did wonder that people could leave such a spot to seek diversion at Cohasset. In the evening passed an hour at my father’s, but my Wife and I had both of us very bad nights.
