- Lucerne Saturday Aug 21st. A [illegible] sail up the lake this morning with my little flock - since then I have written to Annie & Mrs Gould - heard Grace her lesson & am ready for my afternoon walk. The General left this morning & for myself it is great [g-in] - for now I have this cheerful little parlor & the piano at my own disposal - & no one to entertain at table but the children. Today baby is two months old; she has improved wonderfully since we left [Th--n?] & takes notice a great deal; dear darling little daughter - Heidelberg - [illegible] Muller near the Castle overlooking the Rhine, but otherwise a very stupid sort of place - the town is clean & cheerful looking - the Castle & grounds are perfect in their way - one can wander about for miles in them - find some new enchantments at every step - this is by far the most fascinating ruin I have seen in Europe - the [illegible] in every direction are pleasant & the streets delightfully shaded by long rows of trees.
