Wednesday noon
I am stopping for dinner at White River Junction, dearest, & in a few hours shall be at Littleton thence to go to Bethlehem. This morning at 9 I left Amherst & sent you a letter last night. I shall mail this at L. putting with it another sheet about E.D. that is in my valise.
She said to me at parting "Gratitude is the only secret that cannot reveal itself."
I talked with Prest Stearns of Amherst about her - & found him a very pleasant companion in the cars. Before leaving today, I got in to the Museums & enjoyed them much; saw a meteoric stone almost as long as my arm & weighing 436 lbs! a big slice of some other planet. It fell in Colorado. The collection of bird tracks of extinct birds in stone is very wonderful & unique & other good things. I saw Mr. Dickinson this morning a little - thin dry & speechless - I saw what her life has been. Dr. S. says her sister is proud of her.
I wd. have stolen a totty meteor, dear but they were under glass.
Mrs. Bullard I have just met in this train with spouse & son - I shall ride up with her.
Some pretty glimpses of mts. but all is dry and burnt I never saw the river at Brattleboro so low.
Did I say I staid at Sargents in Boston & she still hopes for Newport.
This picture of Mrs Browning's tomb is from E.D. "Timothy Titcomb" [Dr. Holland] gave it to her.
I think I will mail this here as I hv. found time to write so much. I miss you little woman & wish you were here but you'd hate travelling.
Ever
E D again
