Sing.Sing. Monday. 13.teenth. Septem. 1841.
A clear day, rather warm. Garret, left this morning for the city. I spent my morning sewing, and reading. Walked around the village after four oclock. The country, begins to look melancholy, unless the bright sunshine brightens up its mellow trees and mountains. Autumn, is my favorite season in the country, all things are so brillant, and variegated The clouds at sunset were gorgeous, and a slight shower a few moments previous, gave us two beautifull “Bows” to assure us of the power of the “great architect,” God. I sat sewing with Mrs H. untill ten oclock. Gave Remsen, 6 drops laudanum to.night . to stop the effects of a lozenge.
