+
+PREFACE
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+The following pages contain a fragment of the Journal of a young lady of
+Virginia of the last century.
+
+It seems to have been written by her while on a visit to her relatives,
+the Lees, Washingtons, and other families of Lower Virginia, mentioned
+in her Journal.
+
+The friend for whom it was intended was Miss Polly Brent, also of
+Virginia.
+
+The manuscript was found torn, and discolored by age, in an old desk at
+the country place in Maryland, to which Polly Brent carried it, upon her
+marriage into one of the old families of that State.
+
+The Lees, of whom so much mention is made in the Journal--"Nancy,"
+"Molly," "Hannah," and "Harriet"--were the daughters of Richard Henry
+Lee, of Chantilly. Molly married W. A. Washington, and Hannah was--at
+the time of the Journal--the wife of Corbin Washington. Their grandson,
+John A. Washington, was the last occupant of Mount Vernon.
+
+Harriet married the son of Mrs. Turberville, the "old lady" spoken of in
+the manuscript.
+
+Ludwell Lee, a son of Richard Henry Lee, married the "Flora" of this
+chronicle. She was a daughter of Philip Ludwell Lee, of Stratford, and
+sister of Matilda Lee, the first wife of "Colonel Henry Lee;" whose
+little boy is mentioned as so "fine" a "child." Colonel Henry Lee was
+none other than "Light-horse Harry;" the "little boy," his eldest son
+Henry, half-brother to General Robert E. Lee.
+
+It is believed the publication of this Journal will be well received, at
+a period when everything relating to the family of General Lee is of
+peculiar interest. It presents, also, a curious picture of the life and
+manners of that day.
+
+There will be found in it many errors, and some antiquities of
+orthography, which it has not been deemed advisable to correct. It is
+believed that the Journal will be more entertaining in its original
+state than it would be with the aid of any amendments that we might
+make. It is certainly the work of a very clever girl, and possesses all
+that freedom of style and charming simplicity which is so pleasing and
+so rare.
+
+Had the writer anticipated any criticism more searching than that of her
+amiable Polly, her style and orthography would doubtless have been more
+correct, and her Journal quite as commonplace as most of those that find
+their way into print.
+
+The proceeds of the sale of this little volume will be devoted to the
+"Lee Memorial Association of Richmond," which must further commend it to
+the favor of the public.

+Sept. 16.
+
+
+FROM LUCINDA TO MARCIA
+
+_THE WILDERNESS, September 16._
+
+[Sidenote: "Wilderness" Residence of John Grymes, Esq., who married Miss
+Fitzhugh, of Eagle's Nest. One of this family was Gen. Robert Lee's
+grandmother.]
+
+I hear you say, "The Wilderness! where in the world is that, Lucy?" It
+is the name of this place. I can't say I was much struck with the
+situation of the House; but they are as kind, good People as I ever saw.
+
+
+Sept. 17.
+
+To-day is Sunday. Old Mrs. Gordon lives in sight of this [place]. One of
+her Daughters is just come--Lucy Gordon--very clever, though not a
+Beauty.
+
+A Mr. Spotswood and his Lady are come to dine here. I must dress, of
+course.
+
+They are gone.
+
+Mrs. Spotswood, I think, is very Affable and agreeable, though not
+handsome. She has invited us to see her, and we shall go day after
+to-morrow.
+
+I have spent the day pretty agreeably. Lucy Gordon is to stay with me
+to-night.
+
+[Sidenote: Col. Ball, probably the aide and kinsman of Gen. Washington:
+his second wife was Frances Washington, niece and legatee of Gen.
+Washington.]
+
+I have spent the morning in reading; and, much to my satisfaction, old
+Mrs. Gordon is just come to spend the day here. Lucy Gordon and myself
+are just returned from walking out. I was delighted: we walked to a
+river--they call it here; but it is very narrow. The banks of it are
+beautiful, covered with moss and wild flowers; all that a romantic mind
+could form. I thought of my Polly, and thought how delighted she would
+have been had she been a Spectater of the scene; and how much more
+pleased would your Lucy have been, how more delighted if she could have
+had her Polly to point out the Beauties too, and make her observations:
+but her dear Company was denied. Lucy Gordon is a truly good Girl, but
+nothing of the romance in her. So much the better, say I; she is much
+happier without. I wish to Heaven I had as little. Colonel Ball dined
+here to-day: a very clever man.
+
+
+Sept. 18.
+
+To-day we return Mrs. Spotswood's visit. I have to crape my hair, which,
+of all things, is the most disagreeable. Adieu, my Polly, till my
+return.
+
+Well, my dear, I am returned; and much pleased. Mrs. Spotswood is
+mighty clever in her house. She has a Daughter, about twelve years old
+(though very large of her age--she is as tall as I am), very agreeable,
+though not handsome.
+
+They are at cards below, and have sent for me to join them, though I had
+much rather stay and converse with my Polly; yet politeness obliges my
+obeying the summons.
+
+
+Sept. 19.
+
+To-day we dine at Old Mrs. Gordon's: I flatter myself I shall spend this
+day agreeably. This evening Colonel Ball insisted on our drinking tea
+with him: we did, and I was much pleased with my visit; his Wife was not
+at home.
+
+I have returned, and am sitting alone, writing to my dearest Polly. I
+don't think I ever met with kinder, better People in my life; they do
+everything in their Power to make you happy. I have almost determined
+not to go to the races this Fall: every one appears to be astonished at
+[me,] but I am sure there is no sollid happiness to be found in such
+amusements. I don't think I could answer for myself if you were to go;
+and then I should only go to be with you. I have no notion of
+sacrificing my own ease and happiness to the Opinion of the world in
+these matters. They laugh, and tell me, while I am mopeing at home,
+other girls will be enjoying themselves at races and balls; but I never
+will, I am determined, go to one, unless I have an inclination. I would
+not have you think from this that I pay no regard to the opinion of the
+World; far from it: next to that of a good conscience, the opinion of
+the world is to be regarded. Always pay due regard to that.
+
+
+Sept. 20.
+
+I have spent this morning in reading _Lady Julia Mandeville_, and was
+much affected. Indeed, I think I never cried more in my life reading a
+Novel: the stile is beautiful, but the tale is horrid. I reckon you have
+read it. Some one just comes to tell us A Mr. Masenbird and Mr.
+Spotswood is come. We must go down, but I am affraid both Sister's and
+my eyes will betray us. Adieu. I will describe the Gentlemen on my
+return.
+
+Mr. Spotswood is the Gentleman we visited the other day. I think him
+handsome. Mr. Masenbird is an Englishman, and single, that has settled
+in this part of the World. I had heard he was a very uncouth creature,
+but he is quite the reverse--very polite, not handsome.
+
+Interrupted again. They are come to tell me a Mr. Grimes and his Lady
+are come to wait on us. I must throw aside my pen, and go down to be
+introduced. Adieu. I will write more when we retire to dress.
+
+[Sidenote: Of the Nicholas family.]
+
+Mrs. Grimes is very handsome, though appears to be a little proud.
+Sister is almost drest; I shall have but little time to smart myself.
+Adieu. My Great-Coat shall be my dress to day.
+
+
+Sept. 21.
+
+To-day we return Mrs. Grimes's visit. I am going to wear my straw dress
+and my large hat; Sister wears A blue habit, with a white Sattin scirt.
+Adieu. I have but little time to dress.
+
+I am returned, and was delighted with my visit. They live in a very
+genteel stile. She is one of the cleverest Women I have seen for some
+time. I saw there Miss Betty Lee, and A Miss Judy Roberson; the first
+is homely, though right agreeable--the latter is, I think, rather
+clever. You can't conceive anything more nice or genteel than
+every[thing] was. I never was more pleased in my life. I am summon'd to
+supper. Adieu, my Polly; may every blessing attend you! Lucy Gordon is
+here, and has been ever since I came. I like her more and more every
+day.
+
+
+Sept. 22.
+
+To-day we dine with old Mrs. Gordon. Lucy and myself are going to walk
+over now; Sister and Mrs. Gordon will not go this hour. Adieu. I will
+carry my Journal with me.
+
+We had a very pleasant walk; got a number of grapes and nuts in our way.
+Lucy and myself are going to walk in the Garden, to get some pink-seed I
+am anxious to have. The Gentlemen dined to-day at Mr. Masenbird's. Mrs.
+Gordon and sister are come: they have proposed cards, and I am called
+to join them. Adieu.
+
+I would have staid to-night with old Mrs. Gordon, but expected to go
+down to-Morrow. Lucy and myself had a pleasant walk back. The married
+folks went on before.
+
+We have supped, and the gentlemen are not returned yet. Lucy and myself
+are in a peck of troubles for fear they should return drunk. Sister has
+had our bed moved in her room. Just as we were undress'd and going to
+bed, the Gentlemen arrived, and we had to scamper. Both tipsy!
+
+
+Sept. 23.
+
+To-day is Sunday. Brother was so worsted by the frolick yesterday, we
+did not set off to-day. Old Mrs. Gordon dines here to-day. Lucy and
+myself are going to walk to the river, and get a nosegay of wild
+flowers.
+
+We are returned, and was much delighted with our walk. We went to
+Colonel Ball's, and sat some time in the Porch; they are from home.
+Dinner is almost ready, and I have to dress. The children have
+surrounded me the whole evening, as it is to be the last we stay.
+
+
+Sept. 24.
+
+We are just going to take our leave of these worthy People: I should
+like to stay some time longer, if it was convenient. Adieu: the Chariot
+is ready.
+
+[Sidenote: _Belleview._ Residence of Thomas Ludwell Lee.]
+
+Well, my dearest Lavinia, I am arrived at _Belleview_, a good deal
+fatigued, where we found Mr. Bushrod Washington and his lady, on their
+way down. She is fonder of me than ever; prest me to go with her to
+Maryland this Winter. Mr. Phil Fitzhugh is likewise here. He said, at
+supper, he was engaged to dance with one of the Miss Brents at a Ball
+in Dumfries, but that it was only conditionally. Mammy has just sent me
+word she has a letter for me--it is from Nancy, I am sure. Adieu.
+
+[Sidenote: _Chantilly._ Residence of Richard H. Lee.]
+
+It was, and one for you enclosed in it. Nancy writes me her Sister
+Pinkard is at _Chantilly_. It must be a great acquisition to her
+happiness to have so amiable a companion as I have heard she was.
+
+
+Sept. 25.
+
+The Company is all gone, and I have seated myself to converse with my
+Polly. Mrs. A. Washington has lent me a new Novel, called _Victoria_. I
+can't say I admire the Tale, though I think it prettyly told. There is a
+verse in it I wish you much to read. I believe, if I a'n't too Lazy, I
+will copy it off for you: the verse is not very butifull, but the sense
+is, I assure you.
+
+
+Sept. 26.
+
+To-day I have spent in putting my cloaths to rights--a dreadful task,
+you will say. I am going to take a little airing this evening. Adieu:
+the horses are at the door.
+
+
+Sept. 27.
+
+[Sidenote: Mr. Charles Lee--afterward Attorney-General in Gen.
+Washington's second Cabinet--married the "Nancy" of the narrative.]
+
+I was sitting busy at work, when some one told me Mr. Charles Lee was
+here. He was from _Chantilly_; and I flew out in expectation of a
+letter. What do you think I felt, when, instead of a letter, he told me
+my Nancy was very ill? My Polly, I am sure, will sympathize with me.
+What would I not give to see her! but that is denied me. I hope to God
+she is better! Mr. Lee says they did not apprehend any great danger.
+
+
+Sept. 28.
+
+This morning Mr. Lee left us. Every time I see him I like him more and
+more. He has proved himself a truly good Brother. I am very uneasy with
+regard to Nancy--I wish to Heaven I could hear from her.
+
+
+Sept. 29.
+
+Mrs. Graem, Letty Ball, and Harry G---- called here to-day. Mrs. Graem,
+poor creature, appears much distressed at the death of her Children.
+When we come to consider, I think it much better for them: but how
+seldom can a Mother reason in this manner! Cousin Nancy is better, she
+told me: pray Heaven it may be so.
+
+[Sidenote: _Richland._ Residence of Daniel Brent, Esq.]
+
+When Mrs. Graem came to-day, some one came running in and said the
+_Richland_ chariot was coming. You may be assured I flew to the door.
+Oh, how disappointed I was!
+
+
+Sept. 30.
+
+To-day is Sunday, and I am going to church. Brother Aylett is going in
+the Chariot with me. I am this moment going to crape and dress. I shall
+wear my Great-Coat and dress Hat. Adieu, till my return.
+
+[Sidenote: _Selvington._ Residence of Thomas Selden.]
+
+[Sidenote: _Chatham._ Residence of William Fitzhugh, grandfather of Mrs.
+Robert E. Lee. He afterward removed to _Ravensworth_, in Fairfax Co.,
+when _Chatham_ was occupied by his brother, Mr. Philip Fitzhugh.]
+
+I am returned. Mrs. Brook, Mrs. Selden, and Nancy were all at church in
+deep mourning. They were very civil to me, and prest me to dine at
+_Selvington_. Mr. James Gordon is come to dinner from _Chatham_. Mrs.
+Fitzhugh has sent me a very pressing invitation to go there this
+evening, and to-morrow to the races; but I have not the smallest
+inclination, and shall not go. This Mr. Gordon is a mighty clever man--I
+wish you could see him. I saw a beauty at church, a Miss Thaskkel. She
+has hazel eyes, fine complexion, and Beautiful Auburn hair, which hung
+in ringlets upon her neck.
+
+We were sitting drinking tea this evening, when what should we see
+coming but Mr. Washington's Carriage. I was delighted, you may be
+assured. They were all mighty well. I inquired for you. Cousin Molly
+told me you were in perfect health, and that your sister Brent and
+Nancy Ambler were with you--then I suppose my Polly is happy. I have a
+thousand Questions to ask about them, but I hope you will write me an
+exact detail of every thing that happened while there. You have been at
+a tea-drinking lately, in Dumfries: Mrs. A. Washington gave me the whole
+History of it--told me your dresses, and every thing. But where am I
+running to? I had forgot there was Company in the House, so happy am I
+always conversing with my Polly. Adieu.
+
+[Sidenote: Richard Brent, U. S. Senator from Virginia for many years.]
+
+You will smile, I am sure, when I tell you what I am about to do. Will
+you believe when I tell you I am this moment going to pack up my cloaths
+to go to _Chantilly_? Adieu. Some one has just come to tell me your
+Brother Richard is come. I must go and inquire for my Polly.
+
+You are very well, he sais. I shall give him your letter from Nancy.
+The Gentlemen are all in high spirits, thinking, I suppose, of the
+pleasure of to-morrow. I shall be far from this [place] by that time. I
+must quit, as the Boys are come for me to get Sweetmeats for supper.
+
+
+October 1.
+
+I must really take my pen to scribble a little before I set off. The
+Gentlemen are just set off to the races, and I am preparing to set off
+for _Chantilly_. Adieu, my Polly.
+
+
+October 2.
+
+I have arrived at _Chantilly_. Nancy was much better than I expected to
+find her. Weakness is her only complaint. She was delighted to see me,
+and inquired eagerly for her dear Polly, and was much pleased with your
+letter.
+
+Mrs. Pinkard is here--and a sweet Woman she is. Adieu. Nancy says I
+shall not write more.
+
+
+October 3.
+
+I am just up, and am going to seat myself for Sibby to crape my hair.
+
+[Sidenote: _Stratford._ Residence of Philip Ludwell Lee.]
+
+Cousin Nancy and myself have just returned from taking an airing in the
+Chariot. We went to _Stratford_: walked in the Garden, sat about two
+hours under a butifull shade tree, and eat as many figs as we could. How
+did we wish for our dear Polly, and think that was the only thing we
+wanted to compleat our happiness!
+
+We brought to _Chantilly_ Col. H. Lee's little Boy. He has stayed at
+_Stratford_ since his Papa and Mama went to New York. I assure you he is
+a very fine child. Dinner announced. Adieu.
+
+Nancy is rather unwell this evening; she is a little fatigued with her
+ride. Adieu. I must go and talk, to raise her spirits.
+
+
+October 4.
+
+To-day I have been busy making a cap. I don't think it clever, though I
+have spent a good while about it. Nancy and myself have been locked up
+stairs by ourselves all day. She is better to-day than she was
+yesterday.
+
+Oh, my Marcia, how hard is our fate! that we should be deprived of your
+dear company, when it would compleat our Felicity--but such is the fate
+of Mortals! We are never permitted to be perfectly happy. I suppose it
+is right, else the Supreme Disposer of all things would not have
+permitted it: we should perhaps have been more neglectful than we are of
+our duty.
+
+
+October 5.
+
+Mr. Pinkard and a Mr. Lee came here to-day from the Fredericksburg
+races. How sorry I was to hear "Republican" was beaten. I was really
+interested in that race. Adieu. I must crape my hair for dinner.
+
+It is a delightful evening. Nancy and myself are going to take a ride
+out in the Chariot. Oh, my Polly, why are you not here to join us! Away
+with such thoughts--they almost make me melloncholy. Nancy calls me.
+Adieu again. I come! I come!
+
+We are returned, and had a delightful ride, and a much more delightful
+_tête-à-tête_. This Lee appears to be a hum-drum, disagreeable Creature.
+Tea is ready, and I must bid you good-by.
+
+
+October 6.
+
+I wish, my Polly, you could see Mrs. Pinkard. You would be delighted
+with her. She is, I think, among the finest Women I have seen; and is
+thought very beautifull.
+
+I have been very agreeably entertained this evening, reading a Novel
+called _Malvern Dale_. It is something like _Evelina_, though not so
+pretty.
+
+I have a piece of advice to give you, which I have before urged--that
+is, to read something improving. Books of instruction will be a thousand
+times more pleasing [after a little while] than all the novels in the
+World. I own myself, I am too fond of Novel-reading; but, by accustoming
+myself to reading other Books, I have become less so, and I wish my
+Polly to do the same.
+
+
+October 7.
+
+This is Sunday. We have been collected in the Chamber, reading the
+Lessons of the day. After that, Nancy and myself plann'd a ride out on
+horseback, which we are just going to put in execution. Adieu. I will
+resume my pen on my return.
+
+We are returned. I can't say I was much delighted with the ride, as I
+rode a very hard-going horse. They had dined when we returned.
+
+
+October 8.
+
+Mr. Newton dined here to-day. I believe you know him, and therefore need
+not describe him. I have been very busy to-day working a little screne,
+to hold in my hand to prevent the fire from burning my face. I think it
+will be beautifull.
+
+I have seated myself in my (w)rapper to scribble a little. Mr. Pinkard
+has been reading a Play all the evening to Nancy and myself. We were
+much pleased with it. Nancy grows better and better every day--which I
+am delighted at. Adieu: sleep has closed my eyes.
+
+
+October 9.
+
+I was in danger last night of commiting a great piece of rudeness; the
+Play Mr. Pinkard read us was the _Bell Strattagem_. Mr. Newton was by
+when it was read. Some one ask't him sometime afterwards what the Play
+was. He said the _Country Cousin_. I thought I should have burst with
+laughter!
+
+The two Gentlemen went to the Court-house to-day. Molly and myself took
+a walk this evening, and should have walk't much farther had we not met
+the Gentlemen. Mr. Newton dismounted and walkt home with us.
+
+
+October 10.
+
+I have seated myself to give you the adventures of to-day. Mr. C.
+Washington returned to-day from Fredericksburg. You can't think how
+rejoiced Hannah was, and how dejected in his absence she always is. You
+may depend upon it, Polly, this said Matrimony alters us mightely. I am
+afraid it alienates us from every one else. It is, I fear, the bane of
+Female Friendship. Let it not be with ours, my Polly, if we should ever
+Marry. Adieu. Harriet calls me to supper. Once more good-by.
+
+
+October 11.
+
+Hannah and myself were going to take a long walk this evening, but were
+prevented by the two horred Mortals, Mr. Pinkard and Mr. Washington, who
+seized me and kissed me a dozen times in spite of all the resistance I
+could make. They really think, now they are married, they are prevaliged
+to do any thing.
+
+
+October 12.
+
+I am going to tell you a little piece of a secret; but you must never
+mention it. Nancy had an admirer lately--who do you think it is? No
+other than Mr. Newton. He got his discard yesterday.
+
+It is in the evening. Nancy and myself have been to visit our little
+garden [you have frequently heard me speak of it]. We were so
+unfortunate as to make it on the side of the hill, and it is wash't very
+much. Do you visit our dear pledge, and think of your Lucy? How often
+do I think with rapture on the happy hours we spent sitting on the
+fence, singing and looking at the river with the Moon shining on it. Oh,
+how beautiful it look't! Adieu.
+
+
+October 13.
+
+[Sidenote: _Pecatone._ Residence of Mrs. Turberville.]
+
+I had almost forgot to tell you that to-morrow Mrs. Pinkard, Cousin
+Molly, and myself go below the ferry to _Pecatone_, and Mr.
+Ballendine's. I am very busy getting ready for the trip. Adieu.
+
+It is in the evening. There are two Beaux just come. Mrs. Pinkard tels
+me I must go out and let her introduce them to me. The first I am
+acquainted with: he is homely, but a mighty worthy Man. The second I
+never saw before--he is tolerably clever. Nancy and myself are going to
+pore out tea.
+
+
+October 14.
+
+I have but one moment to tell you that Nancy and myself are in a great
+hurry dressing. We are afraid we shall not be ready for breakfast, and
+we set off directly afterwards. This is Sunday. Cousin Washington and
+Nancy go as far as the Church, and return to _Chantilly_. Adieu, my dear
+Polly.
+
+
+October 15.
+
+[Sidenote A: _Nomini._ Built by "Counsellor Carter," son of "King
+Carter."]
+
+[Sidenote: _Bushfield._ Residence of Mr. Washington.]
+
+Well, my dear, we arrived late last night at _Pecatone_. When I wrote
+last we weare sitting off. We all dined at Doctor Thomson's[A] together.
+Mrs. Washington and Milly called there in the evening on their way to
+_Bushfield_. I never saw Milly before. I think I am a little
+disappointed in her beauty. She is not so pretty as I expected to find.
+I was distressed at parting with Nancy, but could not persuade her to
+come.
+
+I don't think you ever saw Cousin Turberville or Hannah. The first is
+homely, but very polite and hospitable in her house. The latter has not
+a handsome face, but is a genteel person. They gave us a very polite
+reception. Hannah was dressed in a lead-courlered habbit, open, with a
+lylack lutestring scirt. She had a butifull crape cushon on, ornamented
+with gauze and flowers.
+
+I must bid you Adieu, for the Ladies are just dressed, and I shall not
+be ready for Breakfast.
+
+I am just returned from riding out. While we were at Breakfast Cousin
+Molly proposed a ride to the store. It is kept by a Mr. Thomson--Brother
+to the Man it is said Miss H. Turberville is to Marry. Accordingly, we
+three went in the Chariot, and left the two Married Ladys by themselves.
+
+We have retired to dress for dinner. Shall I tell you our dresses? I
+hear you say "Yes." Mrs. P. wears a brocade; Cousin M. her pink
+Great-Coat, and I my pink. Adieu. Mrs. P. is going to dress my hair.
+
+Every moment I can spare from the Company I dedicate to you. Two Beaux
+dined here. Mr. James Thomson and Mr. Ford. In the evening two more
+came--Mr. Beal and Mr. Joe Thomson. We are all preparing to dance.
+Adieu: I hear the Fidle.
+
+
+October 16.
+
+We spent last night very agreeably. Danced till Eleven. My partner was
+Mr. Beal. This is a beautiful situation--the Garden extends from the
+House to the river [very much like _Retirement_]. I have been takeing a
+very agreeable walk there. An airing is proposed this morning. We all go
+in Mr. Turberville's Coach. Adieu: it is at the door.
+
+I don't know when I've been happier than I am now. Every thing conspires
+to make me so. Cousin Turberville is so Affectionate. She does every
+thing in her power to make her Company happy. I had forgot to tell you
+Cousin Hannah's dress yesterday. It was a blue lutestring habit, taffety
+apron and handkerchief, with the most butiful little hat on the side of
+her head I ever saw.
+
+We are dressing for dinner: this is a ceremony always practiced here. I
+wear my Great-Coat.
+
+We are just done tea; and are to have the same Gentlemen to dance again
+to-night.
+
+I begin to want very much to see my Polly. Ah! what would I not give to
+obtain that [happiness]. It appears a year since the morning I parted
+from you, and how long, very long will it be before I clasp you to my
+breast. I am deprived even the consolation of hearing from you. Adieu,
+my love. I must return to the Company.
+
+
+October 17.
+
+We danced last night, and every one appeared to be happy. I can answer
+for your Lucy: her partner was Mr. James Thomson--one of the best
+dancers I most ever saw. Early this morning came one of the Miss
+Ballendine's--truly Amiable, I believe, but not handsome. But how
+prefarable is good sense and affability to Beauty: more pleasing a
+thousand times!
+
+Cousin Molly and Hannah T. have rode to Mr. Ballendine's to bring the
+other Sister. She is to be married soon to a Mr. Murfey.
+
+The old man being sick that plays the Fidle, we have diverted ourselves
+playing _grind the bottle_ and _hide the thimble_. Our time passed away
+agreeably enough.
+
+
+October 18.
+
+Miss Nancy Ballendine would not come yesterday. Miss Eliza is still
+here; and a sweet Girl she is. I wish you could see her: I am sure my
+Polly would be pleased with her. We have been taking a walk together in
+the Garden, and talk't of my Polly. She told me Mr. Macrae intended
+paying his addresses to you on his way up. I long to hear if he has.
+
+We have the addition of two more Gentlemen to-night. A Doctor
+Harrington--a handsome man, I think--and an elderly Gentleman, Captain
+Grigg; the most laughable creature I ever saw. They tell me I shall be
+highly diverted at the minuet he dances; and we intend to make him dance
+one to-night.
+
+
+October 19.
+
+I don't think I ever laugh't so much in my life as I did last night at
+Captain Grigg's minuet. I wish you could see him. It is really the most
+ludicrous thing I ever saw; and what makes it more so is, he thinks he
+dances a most delightful one.
+
+To-day we go to Mr. Ballendine's. Adieu, my Love.
+
+I am delighted with this Family. They take delight in promoting each
+other's happiness, and they do it effectually; for I believe they are
+perfectly happy. Mrs. Ballendine is handsome--more so than either of her
+Daughters. Mr. Newton came this evening as we were at tea.
+
+
+October 20.
+
+To-day is disagreeable and rainy. The young Ladys have been showing us
+the wedding-cloaths and some dresses they had from London; very genteel
+and pretty. Mr. Newton is still here, and is, I think, a very
+disagreeable creature. I wonder how Nancy did to bear with him. The
+young Ladys have been singing for me: they are mighty obliging, and sing
+whenever they are ask't.
+
+
+October 21.
+
+We have just returned this morning from visiting Mrs. Esquire Lee.
+
+I never saw her before. She received us very graciously, and is, I
+think, rather clever. We returned just as dinner was on the table. Miss
+Nancy's sweetheart came to-day. Mr. Murfey is a very good Man, I
+believe, but he is very homely. Adieu, my dearest.
+
+
+October 22.
+
+We return this morning to _Pecatone_. Adieu.
+
+We are at _Pecatone_, and dressing. There are several Gentlemen to dine
+here. Mr. Thomson has invited this Family and ourselves to drink tea
+with him this evening. He has had a New Cargo of tea arrived. We intend
+going, and I shall not scribble again to-night.
+
+
+October 23.
+
+We went to Mr. Thomson's; returned, and danced at night. Mr. Turberville
+and Mr. Beal each made us all a present of a pound of Powder. I really
+have a great Affection for Mrs. Pinkard. She always chooses my
+head-dress, dresses my hair, and is the best Creature in lending you any
+thing. If you just say you want a thing, if she happens to have it, she
+will insist on your wearing it. Cousin Hannah has a quantity of Cloaths.
+She has put on every day since I have been here a different dress of
+muslin, and all handsome. Adieu, my best beloved. I have but little time
+to scribble, and that is only when we retire to dress.
+
+
+October 24.
+
+We were entertained last night in the usual way--dancing. We have just
+returned from taking a delightful walk. We went to the peach orchard and
+eat a great many fine peaches. They are seldom met with this time of the
+year.
+
+
+October 25.
+
+[Sidenote: _Lee Hall._ Residence of Richard Lee.]
+
+To-day we dine at _Lee Hall_--that is, at the Squire's. To-morrow we
+dine at _Bushfield_, with the _Pecatone_ Family. Adieu; I will write
+when I get there.
+
+I am at _Lee Hall_. Mrs. Lee is very polite. We found a Mrs. Ball here.
+She has the remains of a very pretty Woman, and appears to have a fixt
+melancholy on her countenance. I expect to see Nancy to-morrow at
+Bushfield--pray send I may. Mr. Beal and Mr. Pinkard are come. Adieu: I
+am called to supper.
+
+
+October 26.
+
+I have but one moment to tell you we are just going to set out for
+_Bushfield_. Mr. Turberville's Coach is waiting for us at the road.
+
+
+October 27.
+
+When we got here we found the House pretty full. Nancy was here. I had
+to dress in a great hurry for dinner. We spent the evening very
+agreeably in chatting. Milly Washington is a thousand times prettyer
+than I thought her at first, and very agreeable. About sunset, Nancy,
+Milly, and myself took a walk in the Garden [it is a most butifull
+place]. We were mighty busy cutting thistles to try our sweethearts,
+when Mr. Washington caught us; and you can't conceive how he plagued
+us--chased us all over the Garden, and was quite impertinent.
+
+I must tell you of our frolic after we went in our room. We took it into
+our heads, to want to eat; well, we had a large dish of bacon and beaf;
+after that, a bowl of Sago cream; and after that, an apple pye. While we
+were eating the apple pye in bed--God bless you! making a great
+noise--in came Mr. Washington, dressed in Hannah's short gown and
+peticoat, and seazed me and kissed me twenty times, in spite of all the
+resistance I could make; and then Cousin Molly. Hannah soon followed,
+dress'd in his Coat. They joined us in eating the apple pye, and then
+went out. After this we took it in our heads to want to eat oysters. We
+got up, put on our rappers, and went down in the Seller to get them: do
+you think Mr. Washington did not follow us and scear us just to death.
+We went up tho, and eat our oysters. We slept in the old Lady's room
+too, and she sat laughing fit to kill herself at us. She is a charming
+old lady--you would be delighted with her. I forgot to tell, Mr. Beal
+attended us here. I have been makeing Milly play on the forti-pianer for
+me; she plays very well. I am more and more delighted with her. She has
+just returned from the Fredericksburg races, and has given me a full
+account of them.
+
+I have been filling out tea, and after that we took a walk to the river
+by Moonlight. The garden extends to the river. Nancy observed walking by
+moonlight, she thought, reminded us of our absent Friends. I joined her
+in thinking so, and my thoughts were at that instant with my Polly. We
+returned in the house, and I prevailed on Milly to entertain us an hour
+or two on the forti-pianer. We wanted very much to sleep in a room by
+ourselves to-night and try the _dum cake_, but could not persuade
+Nancy--she was afraid to sleep in the room with us.
+
+
+October 28.
+
+[Sidenote B: _Nomini._]
+
+To-day, which is Sunday, we dine at Doctor Thomson's,[B] and in the
+evening go to _Chantilly_. Nancy stays, and goes to-Morrow with Corbin
+and Hannah in the Pheyton. Adieu, my ever dear Polly.
+
+
+October 29.
+
+[Sidenote C: Beal's--a family distinguished in the Revolution. This one
+is probably the same who was an officer in the war. Died a bachelor.]
+
+_Chantilly._ We got here late last night. In the evening, at Doctor
+Thomson's, we heard, just by, there were six people to be dipt. We had
+Curiosity to see them, and accordingly went. I assure you it is a very
+Solemn Sight. We brought two Beaux home with us--Mr. Beal[C] and Mr.
+Stark.
+
+
+October 30.
+
+To-day is rainy and disagreeable, which will prevent their comeing from
+_Bushfield_. I have entertained myself all day reading _Telemachus_. It
+is really delightful, and very improveing. Just as I have seated myself
+they are come to tell me tea is ready. Farewell.
+
+
+October 31.
+
+Mr. Beal is still here. I assure you I think him very clever. Nancy is
+not yet come. I am quite lost without her. I have seated myself at
+Nancy's desk to scribble a little--interrupted already. It is Cousin
+Molly. She is come to propose dressing Mr. Pinkard in Woman's cloaths. I
+assent, so away goes the pen.
+
+Just as we had got Mr. Pinkard dress't, came Corbin, Hannah, and Nancy.
+
+
+Nov. 1.
+
+Nancy and myself have just returned from a delightful walk. What do you
+think of her? She sais she could almost sware Mr. Beal is my slave! I
+laugh, and tell her there is nothing in it; nor do I believe he is.
+
+Mr. Pinkard came in just now, and like to have taken this from me, tho I
+luckily got it in my pocket before he could get it.
+
+
+Nov. 2.
+
+To-day, Corbin and Hannah go to _Blenheim_, the seat of Mr. W.
+Washington. Hariot is going with them.
+
+How much do I want to see my Polly! I hope, by this time, you are almost
+through your Book.
+
+
+Nov. 3.
+
+To-day the Beaux took their leave. Last night Nancy had a fire made up
+in one of the up-stairs rooms, and was busily engaged in conversation,
+when Mr. Pinkard bolted in upon us and overheard part of our
+conversation--which hily delighted him.
+
+To-morrow, Mrs. Pinkard, Nancy, and myself go to _Blenheim_. All the
+_Bushfield_ Family are there. How often do we wish for our dear Polly!
+but she is denied us.
+
+
+Nov. 4.
+
+We are now at _Blenheim_. The Hurry of dress prevented my writeing
+before I sat off. I am delighted with this Family, and still more
+delighted with Milly Washington. She is indeed a sweet Girl.
+
+There came this evening a Major More Fauntleroy. We have had a heartty
+laugh at him; he is a Monstrous Simpleton; and likewise came this
+evening the hopefull Youth--A. Spotswood. He has lately commenced
+Milly's lover. Nancy and myself have been teasin to get [something] out
+of her, but she is inflexible.
+
+I have been very much entertained hearing Cousin Washington perform on
+the Spinnet. Adieu, my Friend. I can write no more.
+
+
+Nov. 5.
+
+This is Sunday. We have just breakfasted. There came this morning one
+of the cleverest young Beaux I have seen for some time--a Mr. Turner.
+
+Cousin Hannah and Hariet take our places this morning in the Chariot.
+Nancy and myself stay till the evening, and go with Mr. Washington in
+his Pheyton.
+
+Nancy, Milly, and myself have shut ourselves in a room up stairs, and
+intend not to go down till summoned to dinner. The Topic of our
+Conversation is, regretting the manner in which we have spent our past
+life. It will tend to some good, you will say, if it will make us mend
+in future.
+
+I have, for the first time in my life, just read Pope's _Eloiza_. Just
+now I saw it laying in the Window. I had heard my Polly extol it
+frequently, and curiosity lead me to read it. I will give you my
+opinion of it: the poetry I think beautiful, but do not like some of the
+sentiments. Some of Eloiza's is too Ammorous for a female, I think.
+
+We set off this evening for _Chantilly_--but the Pheyton wheel broke,
+and we were obliged to turn back. Old Mrs. Washington has promised her
+Carriage to us to go in the morning.
+
+
+Nov. 6.
+
+_Chantilly._ We sat off early in the morning, and we reached here this
+morning before breakfast. I found Mama's Jem here. How delighted I am to
+hear of the Health of all my Friends above. He could not give me any
+information about you, except that he believes you are very well, which
+I am very much pleased to hear.
+
+Aunt Lee has been very sick for several days with a violent toothache.
+
+
+Nov. 7.
+
+[Sidenote: _Berry Hill._ A country-seat of Thomas L. Lee.]
+
+This is a delightful evening, my dear. Nancy and myself have just
+returned from a delightfull walk to the river. On our return we two
+loll'd on the Sopha. I shall go up to _Berry Hill_ directly the Pheyton
+is mended. Mr. Washington is to carry me.
+
+
+Nov. 8.
+
+To-day Old Mrs. Washington and Milly came. Nancy and myself have been
+dressing for dinner. N. looks handsomer to-day than I have seen her
+since I came. Adieu. I have not another moment to scribble.
+
+Milly and myself took a walk to-night by moonlight. She knows you, she
+says, and thinks you beautifull.
+
+We are going to join Nancy and Mr. Washington in the dineing-room.
+Adieu, my beloved.
+
+
+Nov. 9.
+
+Mrs. Thomson, Mrs. Leland, and a Miss Leland are all just come, and
+unexpectedly too. I never saw the two last before. The first is a very
+clever old Lady, the latter very homely indeed. We are all going to
+dress. Adieu.
+
+Dinner is just over. Harry, the Fiddler, is sent for, and we are going
+to dance. I had forgot to tell, Mr. Spotswood came to-day. You can't
+conceive how angry Milly was. I soon got from her that he had promised
+never to trouble her again on the Subject, and she was displeased at his
+following her. Adieu--Harriet insists on my going out. She says the
+fiddle is come. Farewell, my love; may Heaven shower blessings on your
+head, prays your Lucinda. I always forget to make use of our other name.
+
+
+Nov. 10.
+
+[Sidenote: _Menokin._ Residence of Francis L. Lee.]
+
+To-day Old Mrs. W. goes to _Bushfield_, and leaves Milly behind. I have
+promised to go with Milly when she goes, if I don't go up before that
+time. Hannah and Corbin go with the Old Lady to-day. Cousin Molly and
+Mr. Pinkard go to _Menoken_ to-day.
+
+Mr. Spotswood took his leave this evening; which Milly rejoiced at.
+
+Nancy sleeps up stairs to-night with her Sister Pinkard. Milly, Miss
+Leland, and myself have the nurcery to ourselves. We want Nancy very
+much, but she is obliged to sleep up stairs.
+
+I had forgot to tell you, the second night at _Blenheim_, Milly, Nancy,
+and myself had a room to ourselves, and tried the _salt and egg_; but
+neither of us dreamt.
+
+I have undrest myself, and Sibby is going to comb my hair. Milly and
+Miss Leland are gone in the Garden. I propose to Sibby to go and
+frighten them: she agrees, and we are going to put it in execution.
+
+We scared them a good deal. Milly screamed pretty lustily.
+
+
+Nov. 11.
+
+We have just breakfasted. Mrs. Thomson and the Lelands have just
+departed. We are going hard to work. Milly is making herself a very
+pretty cap.
+
+Cousin Molly came to-night; quite wet, as she was caught in a hard rain.
+We shall sit up very late to-night--I trimming my dress, and the rest
+makeing caps. I expect to go on Monday to _Bushfield_, with Milly. Nancy
+and Molly will go about that time to Miss A. Ballendine's wedding.
+
+
+Nov. 12.
+
+What a surprise, my Polly, have we all had this morning, and a
+delightful one too. Before we were out of bed a servant from Mr.
+Macarty's came to let us know Aunt Fendall is arrived, and at Mr.
+Macarty's. We are all invited to dine there to-day. I am delighted at
+the thought of seeing Flora before I go up. The Pheyton is mended, and I
+shall set off in a day or two.
+
+[Sidenote: McCartys, married into the Lee family, lived at "Marmion."]
+
+I am not going to Mr. Macarty's to-day. I stay with Milly W. and Mrs.
+Pinkard. Aunt Lee, Molly, and Nancy go. It was my own choice to stay,
+for Nancy insisted on my going and her staying. They are gone. I drest
+Nancy's hair--she really look't beautiful to-day.
+
+We are going to seat ourselves and hear Mr. Pinkard read a Novel.
+
+Hannah and Corbin are just come from _Bushfield_. Mr. Washington sais he
+shall set off to-morrow.
+
+Milly will set off directly after dinner. She has promised to correspond
+with me.
+
+Milly has taken her leave, and I assure you I was a good deal affected
+at parting with her. She is a sweet Girl; and told me at parting that
+she was preposes'd with the notion we should never meet again. God
+forbid! I can write no more, my Marcia, for I have got to pack up my
+cloaths.
+
+I believe I shall scrible a little more to-night, if they should bring
+Flora home with them, if it is only to give you my opinion of her.
+
+Well, my dear, they are come, and, as I expected, brought Flora with
+them. She is very genteal, and wears monstrous Bustles. Her face is just
+as it always was. You, my dearest, that posses a great deal of
+Sencibility, would have supposed she would have been delighted to see
+me--far from it, I assure you. She saluted me just as if I had been a
+common acquaintance, and was not, I thought, at all glad to see me; but
+I suppose it is fashionable to affect indifference. I hope, my dearest,
+we shall always stear clear of such unnatural Fashions. She received
+Nancy in the same manner; that dear Friend and myself have just
+returned from a walk in the Garden--the last we shall take for some
+time, I am afraid.
+
+Dear Mrs. Pinkard sets off this morning, and Cousin Molly goes as far as
+_Peccatone_ with her.
+
+The arrival of Flora has prevented Nancy from going.
+
+I have just taken a last farewell of my dear Mrs. Pinkard--did I say a
+last farewell? I hope not. I should be unhappy did I think it a last
+farewell.
+
+Mr. W. and myself have defer'd setting off till the evening, and then we
+go as far as _Blenheim_ to-night....

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right

+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit:

+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+</div>
+
+<p>The following pages contain a fragment of the Journal of a young lady of
+Virginia of the last century.</p>
+
+<p>It seems to have been written by her while on a visit to her relatives,
+the Lees, Washingtons, and other families of Lower Virginia, mentioned
+in her Journal.</p>
+
+<p>The friend for whom it was intended was Miss Polly Brent, also of
+Virginia.</p>
+
+<p>The manuscript was found torn, and discolored by age, in an old desk at
+the country place in Maryland, to which Polly Brent carried it, upon her
+marriage into one of the old families of that State.</p>
+
+<p>The Lees, of whom so much mention is made in the Journal&mdash;"Nancy,"
+"Molly," "Hannah," and "Harriet"&mdash;were the daughters of Richard Henry
+Lee, of Chantilly. Molly married W. A. Washington, and Hannah was&mdash;at
+the time of the Journal&mdash;the wife of Corbin Washington. Their grandson,
+John A. Washington, was the last occupant of Mount Vernon.</p>
+
+<p>Harriet married the son of Mrs. Turberville, the "old lady" spoken of in
+the manuscript.</p>
+
+<p>Ludwell Lee, a son of Richard Henry Lee, married the "Flora" of this
+chronicle. She was a daughter of Philip Ludwell Lee, of Stratford, and
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">[Pg 6]</a></span>sister of Matilda Lee, the first wife of "Colonel Henry Lee;" whose
+little boy is mentioned as so "fine" a "child." Colonel Henry Lee was
+none other than "Light-horse Harry;" the "little boy," his eldest son
+Henry, half-brother to General Robert E. Lee.</p>
+
+<p>It is believed the publication of this Journal will be well received, at
+a period when everything relating to the family of General Lee is of
+peculiar interest. It presents, also, a curious picture of the life and
+manners of that day.</p>
+
+<p>There will be found in it many errors, and some antiquities of
+orthography, which it has not been deemed advisable to correct. It is
+believed that the Journal will be more entertaining in its original
+state than it would be with the aid of any amendments that we might
+make. It is certainly the work of a very clever girl, and possesses all
+that freedom of style and charming simplicity which is so pleasing and
+so rare.</p>
+
+<p>Had the writer anticipated any criticism more searching than that of her
+amiable Polly, her style and orthography would doubtless have been more
+correct, and her Journal quite as commonplace as most of those that find
+their way into print.</p>
+
+<p>The proceeds of the sale of this little volume will be devoted to the
+"Lee Memorial Association of Richmond," which must further commend it to
+the favor of the public.</p>

+
+
+<p><span class="sidenote">"Wilderness" Residence of John Grymes, Esq., who married Miss
+Fitzhugh, of Eagle's Nest. One of this family was Gen. Robert Lee's
+grandmother.</span>
+I hear you say, "The Wilderness! where in the world is that, Lucy?" It
+is the name of this place. I can't say I was much struck with the
+situation of the House; but they are as kind, good People as I ever saw.</p>
+
+<p><span class='sidenote'>Sept. 17.</span>To-day is Sunday. Old Mrs. Gordon lives in sight of this [place]. One of
+her Daughters is just come&mdash;Lucy<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">[Pg 8]</a></span> Gordon&mdash;very clever, though not a
+Beauty.</p>
+
+<p>A Mr. Spotswood and his Lady are come to dine here. I must dress, of
+course.</p>
+
+<p>They are gone.</p>
+
+<p>Mrs. Spotswood, I think, is very Affable and agreeable, though not
+handsome. She has invited us to see her, and we shall go day after
+to-morrow.</p>
+
+<p>I have spent the day pretty agreeably. Lucy Gordon is to stay with me
+to-night.</p>
+
+
+
+<p><span class="sidenote">Col. Ball, probably the aide and kinsman of Gen. Washington:
+his second wife was Frances Washington, niece and legatee of Gen.
+Washington.</span>I have spent the morning in reading; and, much to my satisfaction, old
+Mrs. Gordon is just come to spend the day here. Lucy Gordon and myself
+are just returned from walking out. I was delighted: we walked to a
+river&mdash;they call it here; but it is very narrow. The banks of it are
+beautiful, covered with moss and wild<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_9" id="Page_9">[Pg 9]</a></span> flowers; all that a romantic mind
+could form. I thought of my Polly, and thought how delighted she would
+have been had she been a Spectater of the scene; and how much more
+pleased would your Lucy have been, how more delighted if she could have
+had her Polly to point out the Beauties too, and make her observations:
+but her dear Company was denied. Lucy Gordon is a truly good Girl, but
+nothing of the romance in her. So much the better, say I; she is much
+happier without. I wish to Heaven I had as little. Colonel Ball dined
+here to-day: a very clever man.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>Sept. 18.</span>To-day we return Mrs. Spotswood's visit. I have to crape my hair, which,
+of all things, is the most disagreeable. Adieu, my Polly, till my
+return.</p>
+
+<p>Well, my dear, I am returned; and<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_10" id="Page_10">[Pg 10]</a></span> much pleased. Mrs. Spotswood is
+mighty clever in her house. She has a Daughter, about twelve years old
+(though very large of her age&mdash;she is as tall as I am), very agreeable,
+though not handsome.</p>
+
+<p>They are at cards below, and have sent for me to join them, though I had
+much rather stay and converse with my Polly; yet politeness obliges my
+obeying the summons.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>Sept. 19.</span>To-day we dine at Old Mrs. Gordon's: I flatter myself I shall spend this
+day agreeably. This evening Colonel Ball insisted on our drinking tea
+with him: we did, and I was much pleased with my visit; his Wife was not
+at home.</p>
+
+<p>I have returned, and am sitting alone, writing to my dearest Polly. I
+don't think I ever met with kinder, better People in my life; they do
+everything<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">[Pg 11]</a></span> in their Power to make you happy. I have almost determined
+not to go to the races this Fall: every one appears to be astonished at
+[me,] but I am sure there is no sollid happiness to be found in such
+amusements. I don't think I could answer for myself if you were to go;
+and then I should only go to be with you. I have no notion of
+sacrificing my own ease and happiness to the Opinion of the world in
+these matters. They laugh, and tell me, while I am mopeing at home,
+other girls will be enjoying themselves at races and balls; but I never
+will, I am determined, go to one, unless I have an inclination. I would
+not have you think from this that I pay no regard to the opinion of the
+World; far from it: next to that of a good conscience, the opinion of
+the world is to be regarded. Always pay due regard to that.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_12" id="Page_12">[Pg 12]</a></span></p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>Sept. 20.</span>I have spent this morning in reading <i>Lady Julia Mandeville</i>, and was
+much affected. Indeed, I think I never cried more in my life reading a
+Novel: the stile is beautiful, but the tale is horrid. I reckon you have
+read it. Some one just comes to tell us A Mr. Masenbird and Mr.
+Spotswood is come. We must go down, but I am affraid both Sister's and
+my eyes will betray us. Adieu. I will describe the Gentlemen on my
+return.</p>
+
+<p>Mr. Spotswood is the Gentleman we visited the other day. I think him
+handsome. Mr. Masenbird is an Englishman, and single, that has settled
+in this part of the World. I had heard he was a very uncouth creature,
+but he is quite the reverse&mdash;very polite, not handsome.</p>
+
+<p>Interrupted again. They are come to tell me a Mr. Grimes and his Lady<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_13" id="Page_13">[Pg 13]</a></span>
+are come to wait on us. I must throw aside my pen, and go down to be
+introduced. Adieu. I will write more when we retire to dress.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>Of the Nicholas family.</span>Mrs. Grimes is very handsome, though appears to be a little proud.
+Sister is almost drest; I shall have but little time to smart myself.
+Adieu. My Great-Coat shall be my dress to day.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>Sept. 21.</span>To-day we return Mrs. Grimes's visit. I am going to wear my straw dress
+and my large hat; Sister wears A blue habit, with a white Sattin scirt.
+Adieu. I have but little time to dress.</p>
+
+<p>I am returned, and was delighted with my visit. They live in a very
+genteel stile. She is one of the cleverest Women I have seen for some
+time. I saw there Miss Betty Lee, and A Miss Judy Roberson; the first<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_14" id="Page_14">[Pg 14]</a></span>
+is homely, though right agreeable&mdash;the latter is, I think, rather
+clever. You can't conceive anything more nice or genteel than
+every[thing] was. I never was more pleased in my life. I am summon'd to
+supper. Adieu, my Polly; may every blessing attend you! Lucy Gordon is
+here, and has been ever since I came. I like her more and more every
+day.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>Sept. 22.</span>To-day we dine with old Mrs. Gordon. Lucy and myself are going to walk
+over now; Sister and Mrs. Gordon will not go this hour. Adieu. I will
+carry my Journal with me.</p>
+
+<p>We had a very pleasant walk; got a number of grapes and nuts in our way.
+Lucy and myself are going to walk in the Garden, to get some pink-seed I
+am anxious to have. The Gentlemen dined to-day at Mr. Masenbird's. Mrs.
+Gordon and sister are<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_15" id="Page_15">[Pg 15]</a></span> come: they have proposed cards, and I am called
+to join them. Adieu.</p>
+
+<p>I would have staid to-night with old Mrs. Gordon, but expected to go
+down to-Morrow. Lucy and myself had a pleasant walk back. The married
+folks went on before.</p>
+
+<p>We have supped, and the gentlemen are not returned yet. Lucy and myself
+are in a peck of troubles for fear they should return drunk. Sister has
+had our bed moved in her room. Just as we were undress'd and going to
+bed, the Gentlemen arrived, and we had to scamper. Both tipsy!</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>Sept. 23.</span>To-day is Sunday. Brother was so worsted by the frolick yesterday, we
+did not set off to-day. Old Mrs. Gordon dines here to-day. Lucy and
+myself are going to walk to the river, and get a nosegay of wild
+flowers.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_16" id="Page_16">[Pg 16]</a></span></p>
+
+<p>We are returned, and was much delighted with our walk. We went to
+Colonel Ball's, and sat some time in the Porch; they are from home.
+Dinner is almost ready, and I have to dress. The children have
+surrounded me the whole evening, as it is to be the last we stay.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>Sept. 24.</span>We are just going to take our leave of these worthy People: I should
+like to stay some time longer, if it was convenient. Adieu: the Chariot
+is ready.</p>

+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'><i>Belleview.</i> Residence of Thomas Ludwell Lee.</span>Well, my dearest Lavinia, I am arrived at <i>Belleview</i>, a good deal
+fatigued, where we found Mr. Bushrod Washington and his lady, on their

+Maryland this Winter. Mr. Phil Fitzhugh is likewise here. He said, at
+supper, he was engaged to dance<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_17" id="Page_17">[Pg 17]</a></span> with one of the Miss Brents at a Ball
+in Dumfries, but that it was only conditionally. Mammy has just sent me

+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>Sept. 25.</span>The Company is all gone, and I have seated myself to converse with my
+Polly. Mrs. A. Washington has lent me a new Novel, called <i>Victoria</i>. I
+can't say I admire the Tale, though I think it prettyly told. There is a
+verse in it I wish you much to read. I believe, if I a'n't too Lazy, I
+will copy it off for you: the verse is not very butifull, but the sense
+is, I assure you.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>Sept. 26.</span>To-day I have spent in putting my<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_18" id="Page_18">[Pg 18]</a></span> cloaths to rights&mdash;a dreadful task,

+letter. What do you think I felt, when, instead of a letter, he told me
+my Nancy was very ill? My Polly, I am sure, will sympathize with me.
+What would I not give to see her! but that is denied me. I hope to God

+in ringlets upon her neck.</p>
+
+<p>We were sitting drinking tea this evening, when what should we see

+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>October 4.</span>To-day I have been busy making a<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_24" id="Page_24">[Pg 24]</a></span> cap. I don't think it clever, though I

+
+<p>Oh, my Marcia, how hard is our fate! that we should be deprived of your
+dear company, when it would compleat our Felicity&mdash;but such is the fate

+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>October 5.</span>Mr. Pinkard and a Mr. Lee came here to-day from the Fredericksburg

+Adieu again. I come! I come!</p>
+
+<p>We are returned, and had a delightful ride, and a much more delightful
+<i>t&ecirc;te-&agrave;-t&ecirc;te</i>. This Lee appears to be a hum-drum, disagreeable Creature.

+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>October 6.</span>I wish, my Polly, you could see Mrs. Pinkard. You would be delighted

+called <i>Malvern Dale</i>. It is something like <i>Evelina</i>, though not so
+pretty.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_26" id="Page_26">[Pg 26]</a></span></p>
+
+<p>I have a piece of advice to give you, which I have before urged&mdash;that
+is, to read something improving. Books of instruction will be a thousand
+times more pleasing [after a little while] than all the novels in the
+World. I own myself, I am too fond of Novel-reading; but, by accustoming
+myself to reading other Books, I have become less so, and I wish my
+Polly to do the same.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>October 7.</span>This is Sunday. We have been collected in the Chamber, reading the

+horseback, which we are just going to put in execution. Adieu. I will

+
+<p>We are returned. I can't say I was much delighted with the ride, as I

+will be beautifull.</p>
+
+<p>I have seated myself in my (w)rapper to scribble a little. Mr. Pinkard
+has been reading a Play all the evening to Nancy and myself. We were
+much pleased with it. Nancy grows better and better every day&mdash;which I
+am delighted at. Adieu: sleep has closed my eyes.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>October 9.</span>I was in danger last night of commiting a great piece of rudeness; the
+Play Mr. Pinkard read us was the <i>Bell Strattagem</i>. Mr. Newton was by
+when it was read. Some one ask't him sometime afterwards what the Play
+was. He said the <i>Country<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_28" id="Page_28">[Pg 28]</a></span> Cousin</i>. I thought I should have burst with
+laughter!</p>
+
+<p>The two Gentlemen went to the Court-house to-day. Molly and myself took
+a walk this evening, and should have walk't much farther had we not met
+the Gentlemen. Mr. Newton dismounted and walkt home with us.</p>
+

+<span class='sidenote'>October 10.</span>I have seated myself to give you the adventures of to-day. Mr. C.
+Washington returned to-day from Fredericksburg. You can't think how
+rejoiced Hannah was, and how dejected in his absence she always is. You
+may depend upon it, Polly, this said Matrimony alters us mightely. I am
+afraid it alienates us from every one else. It is, I fear, the bane of
+Female Friendship. Let it not be with ours, my Polly, if we should ever
+Marry. Adieu. Harriet calls me to supper. Once more good-by.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_29" id="Page_29">[Pg 29]</a></span></p>

+prevented by the two horred Mortals, Mr. Pinkard and Mr. Washington, who
+seized me and kissed me a dozen times in spite of all the resistance I
+could make. They really think, now they are married, they are prevaliged
+to do any thing.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>October 12.</span>I am going to tell you a little piece of a secret; but you must never
+mention it. Nancy had an admirer lately&mdash;who do you think it is? No
+other than Mr. Newton. He got his discard yesterday.</p>
+
+<p>It is in the evening. Nancy and myself have been to visit our little
+garden [you have frequently heard me speak of it]. We were so
+unfortunate as to make it on the side of the hill, and it is wash't very
+much. Do you visit our dear pledge, and think<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_30" id="Page_30">[Pg 30]</a></span> of your Lucy? How often

+
+<p>It is in the evening. There are two Beaux just come. Mrs. Pinkard tels
+me I must go out and let her introduce them to me. The first I am

+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>October 14.</span>I have but one moment to tell you<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_31" id="Page_31">[Pg 31]</a></span> that Nancy and myself are in a great

+Mrs. Washington and Milly called there in the evening on their way to

+disappointed in her beauty. She is not so pretty as I expected to find.
+I was distressed at parting with Nancy, but could not persuade her to
+come.</p>
+
+<p>I don't think you ever saw Cousin Turberville or Hannah. The first is<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_32" id="Page_32">[Pg 32]</a></span>
+homely, but very polite and hospitable in her house. The latter has not
+a handsome face, but is a genteel person. They gave us a very polite
+reception. Hannah was dressed in a lead-courlered habbit, open, with a
+lylack lutestring scirt. She had a butifull crape cushon on, ornamented
+with gauze and flowers.</p>
+
+<p>I must bid you Adieu, for the Ladies are just dressed, and I shall not
+be ready for Breakfast.</p>
+
+<p>I am just returned from riding out. While we were at Breakfast Cousin
+Molly proposed a ride to the store. It is kept by a Mr. Thomson&mdash;Brother
+to the Man it is said Miss H. Turberville is to Marry. Accordingly, we
+three went in the Chariot, and left the two Married Ladys by themselves.</p>
+
+<p>We have retired to dress for dinner.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_33" id="Page_33">[Pg 33]</a></span> Shall I tell you our dresses? I

+Great-Coat, and I my pink. Adieu. Mrs. P. is going to dress my hair.</p>
+
+<p>Every moment I can spare from the Company I dedicate to you. Two Beaux
+dined here. Mr. James Thomson and Mr. Ford. In the evening two more
+came&mdash;Mr. Beal and Mr. Joe Thomson. We are all preparing to dance.
+Adieu: I hear the Fidle.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>October 16.</span>We spent last night very agreeably. Danced till Eleven. My partner was
+Mr. Beal. This is a beautiful situation&mdash;the Garden extends from the

+
+<p>I don't know when I've been happier than I am now. Every thing conspires
+to make me so. Cousin Turberville is so Affectionate. She does every
+thing in her power to make her Company happy. I had forgot to tell you
+Cousin Hannah's dress yesterday. It was a blue lutestring habit, taffety
+apron and handkerchief, with the most butiful little hat on the side of
+her head I ever saw.</p>
+
+<p>We are dressing for dinner: this is a ceremony always practiced here. I
+wear my Great-Coat.</p>
+
+<p>We are just done tea; and are to have the same Gentlemen to dance again
+to-night.</p>
+
+<p>I begin to want very much to see my Polly. Ah! what would I not give to
+obtain that [happiness]. It appears a year since the morning I<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_35" id="Page_35">[Pg 35]</a></span> parted
+from you, and how long, very long will it be before I clasp you to my
+breast. I am deprived even the consolation of hearing from you. Adieu,
+my love. I must return to the Company.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>October 17.</span>We danced last night, and every one appeared to be happy. I can answer
+for your Lucy: her partner was Mr. James Thomson&mdash;one of the best
+dancers I most ever saw. Early this morning came one of the Miss
+Ballendine's&mdash;truly Amiable, I believe, but not handsome. But how
+prefarable is good sense and affability to Beauty: more pleasing a
+thousand times!</p>
+
+<p>Cousin Molly and Hannah T. have rode to Mr. Ballendine's to bring the
+other Sister. She is to be married soon to a Mr. Murfey.</p>
+
+<p>The old man being sick that plays<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_36" id="Page_36">[Pg 36]</a></span> the Fidle, we have diverted ourselves

+<p>We have the addition of two more Gentlemen to-night. A Doctor
+Harrington&mdash;a handsome man, I think&mdash;and an elderly Gentleman, Captain
+Grigg; the most laughable creature I ever saw. They tell me I shall be
+highly diverted at the minuet he dances; and we intend to make him dance
+one to-night.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_37" id="Page_37">[Pg 37]</a></span></p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>October 19.</span>I don't think I ever laugh't so much in my life as I did last night at
+Captain Grigg's minuet. I wish you could see him. It is really the most
+ludicrous thing I ever saw; and what makes it more so is, he thinks he
+dances a most delightful one.</p>
+
+<p>To-day we go to Mr. Ballendine's. Adieu, my Love.</p>
+
+<p>I am delighted with this Family. They take delight in promoting each
+other's happiness, and they do it effectually; for I believe they are
+perfectly happy. Mrs. Ballendine is handsome&mdash;more so than either of her
+Daughters. Mr. Newton came this evening as we were at tea.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>October 20.</span>To-day is disagreeable and rainy. The young Ladys have been showing us
+the wedding-cloaths and some dresses they had from London; very genteel
+and pretty. Mr. Newton is<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_38" id="Page_38">[Pg 38]</a></span> still here, and is, I think, a very
+disagreeable creature. I wonder how Nancy did to bear with him. The
+young Ladys have been singing for me: they are mighty obliging, and sing
+whenever they are ask't.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>October 21.</span>We have just returned this morning from visiting Mrs. Esquire Lee.</p>
+
+<p>I never saw her before. She received us very graciously, and is, I
+think, rather clever. We returned just as dinner was on the table. Miss
+Nancy's sweetheart came to-day. Mr. Murfey is a very good Man, I
+believe, but he is very homely. Adieu, my dearest.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>October 22.</span>We return this morning to <i>Pecatone</i>. Adieu.</p>
+
+<p>We are at <i>Pecatone</i>, and dressing. There are several Gentlemen to dine
+here. Mr. Thomson has invited this Family and ourselves to drink tea<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_39" id="Page_39">[Pg 39]</a></span>
+with him this evening. He has had a New Cargo of tea arrived. We intend
+going, and I shall not scribble again to-night.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>October 23.</span>We went to Mr. Thomson's; returned, and danced at night. Mr. Turberville
+and Mr. Beal each made us all a present of a pound of Powder. I really
+have a great Affection for Mrs. Pinkard. She always chooses my
+head-dress, dresses my hair, and is the best Creature in lending you any
+thing. If you just say you want a thing, if she happens to have it, she
+will insist on your wearing it. Cousin Hannah has a quantity of Cloaths.
+She has put on every day since I have been here a different dress of
+muslin, and all handsome. Adieu, my best beloved. I have but little time
+to scribble, and that is only when we retire to dress.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_40" id="Page_40">[Pg 40]</a></span></p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>October 24.</span>We were entertained last night in the usual way&mdash;dancing. We have just
+returned from taking a delightful walk. We went to the peach orchard and
+eat a great many fine peaches. They are seldom met with this time of the
+year.</p>
+
+<p><span class='sidenote'>October 25.</span>
+
+<span class='sidenote'><i>Lee Hall.</i> Residence of Richard Lee.</span>
+To-day we dine at <i>Lee Hall</i>&mdash;that is, at the Squire's. To-morrow we
+dine at <i>Bushfield</i>, with the <i>Pecatone</i> Family. Adieu; I will write
+when I get there.</p>
+
+<p>I am at <i>Lee Hall</i>. Mrs. Lee is very polite. We found a Mrs. Ball here.
+She has the remains of a very pretty Woman, and appears to have a fixt
+melancholy on her countenance. I expect to see Nancy to-morrow at
+Bushfield&mdash;pray send I may. Mr. Beal and Mr. Pinkard are come. Adieu: I
+am called to supper.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>October 26.</span>I have but one moment to tell you<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_41" id="Page_41">[Pg 41]</a></span> we are just going to set out for
+<i>Bushfield</i>. Mr. Turberville's Coach is waiting for us at the road.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>October 27.</span>When we got here we found the House pretty full. Nancy was here. I had
+to dress in a great hurry for dinner. We spent the evening very
+agreeably in chatting. Milly Washington is a thousand times prettyer
+than I thought her at first, and very agreeable. About sunset, Nancy,
+Milly, and myself took a walk in the Garden [it is a most butifull
+place]. We were mighty busy cutting thistles to try our sweethearts,
+when Mr. Washington caught us; and you can't conceive how he plagued
+us&mdash;chased us all over the Garden, and was quite impertinent.</p>
+
+<p>I must tell you of our frolic after we went in our room. We took it into
+our heads, to want to eat; well,<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_42" id="Page_42">[Pg 42]</a></span> we had a large dish of bacon and beaf;
+after that, a bowl of Sago cream; and after that, an apple pye. While we
+were eating the apple pye in bed&mdash;God bless you! making a great
+noise&mdash;in came Mr. Washington, dressed in Hannah's short gown and
+peticoat, and seazed me and kissed me twenty times, in spite of all the
+resistance I could make; and then Cousin Molly. Hannah soon followed,
+dress'd in his Coat. They joined us in eating the apple pye, and then
+went out. After this we took it in our heads to want to eat oysters. We
+got up, put on our rappers, and went down in the Seller to get them: do
+you think Mr. Washington did not follow us and scear us just to death.
+We went up tho, and eat our oysters. We slept in the old Lady's room
+too, and she sat laughing<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_43" id="Page_43">[Pg 43]</a></span> fit to kill herself at us. She is a charming
+old lady&mdash;you would be delighted with her. I forgot to tell, Mr. Beal
+attended us here. I have been makeing Milly play on the forti-pianer for
+me; she plays very well. I am more and more delighted with her. She has
+just returned from the Fredericksburg races, and has given me a full
+account of them.</p>
+
+<p>I have been filling out tea, and after that we took a walk to the river
+by Moonlight. The garden extends to the river. Nancy observed walking by
+moonlight, she thought, reminded us of our absent Friends. I joined her
+in thinking so, and my thoughts were at that instant with my Polly. We
+returned in the house, and I prevailed on Milly to entertain us an hour
+or two on the forti-pianer. We wanted very much to sleep in a room by<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_44" id="Page_44">[Pg 44]</a></span>
+ourselves to-night and try the <i>dum cake</i>, but could not persuade
+Nancy&mdash;she was afraid to sleep in the room with us.</p>

+To-day, which is Sunday, we dine at Doctor Thomson's,<a name="Sidenote_B_B" id="Sidenote_B_B"></a><a href="#FNanchor_B_B"><span class="label">[B]</span></a> and in the
+evening go to <i>Chantilly</i>. Nancy stays, and goes to-Morrow with Corbin

+
+<p><span class='sidenote'>October 29.</span>
+<span class='sidenote'><a name="FNanchor_C_C" id="FNanchor_C_C"></a><a href="#Sidenote_C_C" class="fnanchor">[C]</a> Beal's&mdash;a family distinguished in the Revolution. This one
+is probably the same who was an officer in the war. Died a bachelor.</span>
+<i>Chantilly.</i> We got here late last night. In the evening, at Doctor
+Thomson's, we heard, just by, there were six people to be dipt. We had
+Curiosity to see them, and accordingly went. I assure you it is a very
+Solemn Sight. We brought two Beaux home with us&mdash;Mr. Beal<a name="Sidenote_C_C" id="Sidenote_C_C"></a><a href="#FNanchor_C_C"><span class="label">[C]</span></a> and Mr.
+Stark.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>October 30.</span>To-day is rainy and disagreeable, which will prevent their comeing from
+<i>Bushfield</i>. I have entertained myself<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_45" id="Page_45">[Pg 45]</a></span> all day reading <i>Telemachus</i>. It
+is really delightful, and very improveing. Just as I have seated myself
+they are come to tell me tea is ready. Farewell.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>October 31.</span>Mr. Beal is still here. I assure you I think him very clever. Nancy is
+not yet come. I am quite lost without her. I have seated myself at
+Nancy's desk to scribble a little&mdash;interrupted already. It is Cousin
+Molly. She is come to propose dressing Mr. Pinkard in Woman's cloaths. I
+assent, so away goes the pen.</p>
+
+<p>Just as we had got Mr. Pinkard dress't, came Corbin, Hannah, and Nancy.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>Nov. 1.</span>Nancy and myself have just returned from a delightful walk. What do you
+think of her? She sais she could almost sware Mr. Beal is my<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_46" id="Page_46">[Pg 46]</a></span> slave! I
+laugh, and tell her there is nothing in it; nor do I believe he is.</p>
+
+<p>Mr. Pinkard came in just now, and like to have taken this from me, tho I
+luckily got it in my pocket before he could get it.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>Nov. 2.</span>To-day, Corbin and Hannah go to <i>Blenheim</i>, the seat of Mr. W.
+Washington. Hariot is going with them.</p>
+
+<p>How much do I want to see my Polly! I hope, by this time, you are almost
+through your Book.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>Nov. 3.</span>To-day the Beaux took their leave. Last night Nancy had a fire made up
+in one of the up-stairs rooms, and was busily engaged in conversation,
+when Mr. Pinkard bolted in upon us and overheard part of our
+conversation&mdash;which hily delighted him.</p>
+
+<p>To-morrow, Mrs. Pinkard, Nancy, and myself go to <i>Blenheim</i>. All the
+<i>Bushfield</i> Family are there. How<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_47" id="Page_47">[Pg 47]</a></span> often do we wish for our dear Polly!
+but she is denied us.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>Nov. 4.</span>We are now at <i>Blenheim</i>. The Hurry of dress prevented my writeing
+before I sat off. I am delighted with this Family, and still more
+delighted with Milly Washington. She is indeed a sweet Girl.</p>
+
+<p>There came this evening a Major More Fauntleroy. We have had a heartty
+laugh at him; he is a Monstrous Simpleton; and likewise came this
+evening the hopefull Youth&mdash;A. Spotswood. He has lately commenced
+Milly's lover. Nancy and myself have been teasin to get [something] out
+of her, but she is inflexible.</p>
+
+<p>I have been very much entertained hearing Cousin Washington perform on
+the Spinnet. Adieu, my Friend. I can write no more.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>Nov. 5.</span>This is Sunday. We have just<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_48" id="Page_48">[Pg 48]</a></span> breakfasted. There came this morning one
+of the cleverest young Beaux I have seen for some time&mdash;a Mr. Turner.</p>
+
+<p>Cousin Hannah and Hariet take our places this morning in the Chariot.
+Nancy and myself stay till the evening, and go with Mr. Washington in
+his Pheyton.</p>
+
+<p>Nancy, Milly, and myself have shut ourselves in a room up stairs, and
+intend not to go down till summoned to dinner. The Topic of our
+Conversation is, regretting the manner in which we have spent our past
+life. It will tend to some good, you will say, if it will make us mend
+in future.</p>
+
+<p>I have, for the first time in my life, just read Pope's <i>Eloiza</i>. Just
+now I saw it laying in the Window. I had heard my Polly extol it
+frequently, and curiosity lead me to read it. I<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_49" id="Page_49">[Pg 49]</a></span> will give you my
+opinion of it: the poetry I think beautiful, but do not like some of the
+sentiments. Some of Eloiza's is too Ammorous for a female, I think.</p>
+
+<p>We set off this evening for <i>Chantilly</i>&mdash;but the Pheyton wheel broke,
+and we were obliged to turn back. Old Mrs. Washington has promised her
+Carriage to us to go in the morning.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>Nov. 6.</span><i>Chantilly.</i> We sat off early in the morning, and we reached here this
+morning before breakfast. I found Mama's Jem here. How delighted I am to
+hear of the Health of all my Friends above. He could not give me any
+information about you, except that he believes you are very well, which
+I am very much pleased to hear.</p>
+
+<p>Aunt Lee has been very sick for several days with a violent toothache.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_50" id="Page_50">[Pg 50]</a></span></p>
+
+<p><span class='sidenote'>Nov. 7.</span>
+
+<span class='sidenote'><i>Berry Hill.</i> A country-seat of Thomas L. Lee.</span>
+This is a delightful evening, my dear. Nancy and myself have just
+returned from a delightfull walk to the river. On our return we two
+loll'd on the Sopha. I shall go up to <i>Berry Hill</i> directly the Pheyton
+is mended. Mr. Washington is to carry me.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>Nov. 8.</span>To-day Old Mrs. Washington and Milly came. Nancy and myself have been
+dressing for dinner. N. looks handsomer to-day than I have seen her
+since I came. Adieu. I have not another moment to scribble.</p>
+
+<p>Milly and myself took a walk to-night by moonlight. She knows you, she
+says, and thinks you beautifull.</p>
+
+<p>We are going to join Nancy and Mr. Washington in the dineing-room.
+Adieu, my beloved.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>Nov. 9.</span>Mrs. Thomson, Mrs. Leland, and a Miss Leland are all just come, and<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_51" id="Page_51">[Pg 51]</a></span>
+unexpectedly too. I never saw the two last before. The first is a very
+clever old Lady, the latter very homely indeed. We are all going to
+dress. Adieu.</p>
+
+<p>Dinner is just over. Harry, the Fiddler, is sent for, and we are going
+to dance. I had forgot to tell, Mr. Spotswood came to-day. You can't
+conceive how angry Milly was. I soon got from her that he had promised
+never to trouble her again on the Subject, and she was displeased at his
+following her. Adieu&mdash;Harriet insists on my going out. She says the
+fiddle is come. Farewell, my love; may Heaven shower blessings on your
+head, prays your Lucinda. I always forget to make use of our other name.</p>
+
+
+
+<p><span class='sidenote'>Nov. 10.</span>
+
+<span class='sidenote'><i>Menokin.</i> Residence of Francis L. Lee.</span>
+To-day Old Mrs. W. goes to <i>Bushfield</i>, and leaves Milly behind. I have
+promised to go with Milly when<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_52" id="Page_52">[Pg 52]</a></span> she goes, if I don't go up before that
+time. Hannah and Corbin go with the Old Lady to-day. Cousin Molly and
+Mr. Pinkard go to <i>Menoken</i> to-day.</p>
+
+<p>Mr. Spotswood took his leave this evening; which Milly rejoiced at.</p>
+
+<p>Nancy sleeps up stairs to-night with her Sister Pinkard. Milly, Miss
+Leland, and myself have the nurcery to ourselves. We want Nancy very
+much, but she is obliged to sleep up stairs.</p>
+
+<p>I had forgot to tell you, the second night at <i>Blenheim</i>, Milly, Nancy,
+and myself had a room to ourselves, and tried the <i>salt and egg</i>; but
+neither of us dreamt.</p>
+
+<p>I have undrest myself, and Sibby is going to comb my hair. Milly and
+Miss Leland are gone in the Garden. I propose to Sibby to go and
+frighten<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_53" id="Page_53">[Pg 53]</a></span> them: she agrees, and we are going to put it in execution.</p>
+
+<p>We scared them a good deal. Milly screamed pretty lustily.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>Nov. 11.</span>We have just breakfasted. Mrs. Thomson and the Lelands have just
+departed. We are going hard to work. Milly is making herself a very
+pretty cap.</p>
+
+<p>Cousin Molly came to-night; quite wet, as she was caught in a hard rain.
+We shall sit up very late to-night&mdash;I trimming my dress, and the rest
+makeing caps. I expect to go on Monday to <i>Bushfield</i>, with Milly. Nancy
+and Molly will go about that time to Miss A. Ballendine's wedding.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>Nov. 12.</span>What a surprise, my Polly, have we all had this morning, and a
+delightful one too. Before we were out of bed a servant from Mr.
+Macarty's came to let us know Aunt Fendall is<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_54" id="Page_54">[Pg 54]</a></span> arrived, and at Mr.
+Macarty's. We are all invited to dine there to-day. I am delighted at
+the thought of seeing Flora before I go up. The Pheyton is mended, and I
+shall set off in a day or two.</p>
+
+
+<p>
+<span class='sidenote'>McCartys, married into the Lee family, lived at "Marmion."</span>I am not going to Mr. Macarty's to-day. I stay with Milly W. and Mrs.
+Pinkard. Aunt Lee, Molly, and Nancy go. It was my own choice to stay,
+for Nancy insisted on my going and her staying. They are gone. I drest
+Nancy's hair&mdash;she really look't beautiful to-day.</p>
+
+<p>We are going to seat ourselves and hear Mr. Pinkard read a Novel.</p>
+
+<p>Hannah and Corbin are just come from <i>Bushfield</i>. Mr. Washington sais he
+shall set off to-morrow.</p>
+
+<p>Milly will set off directly after dinner. She has promised to correspond
+with me.</p>
+
+<p>Milly has taken her leave, and I assure you I was a good deal affected
+at parting with her. She is a sweet<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_55" id="Page_55">[Pg 55]</a></span> Girl; and told me at parting that
+she was preposes'd with the notion we should never meet again. God
+forbid! I can write no more, my Marcia, for I have got to pack up my
+cloaths.</p>
+
+<p>I believe I shall scrible a little more to-night, if they should bring
+Flora home with them, if it is only to give you my opinion of her.</p>
+
+<p>Well, my dear, they are come, and, as I expected, brought Flora with
+them. She is very genteal, and wears monstrous Bustles. Her face is just
+as it always was. You, my dearest, that posses a great deal of
+Sencibility, would have supposed she would have been delighted to see
+me&mdash;far from it, I assure you. She saluted me just as if I had been a
+common acquaintance, and was not, I thought, at all glad to see me; but
+I suppose it is fashionable to affect indifference. I hope, my dearest,
+we shall always stear clear of such unnatural Fashions. She received
+Nancy in the same<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_56" id="Page_56">[Pg 56]</a></span> manner; that dear Friend and myself have just
+returned from a walk in the Garden&mdash;the last we shall take for some
+time, I am afraid.</p>
+
+<p>Dear Mrs. Pinkard sets off this morning, and Cousin Molly goes as far as
+<i>Peccatone</i> with her.</p>
+
+<p>The arrival of Flora has prevented Nancy from going.</p>
+
+<p>I have just taken a last farewell of my dear Mrs. Pinkard&mdash;did I say a
+last farewell? I hope not. I should be unhappy did I think it a last
+farewell.</p>
+
+<p>Mr. W. and myself have defer'd setting off till the evening, and then we
+go as far as <i>Blenheim</i> to-night....</p>

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all

+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS,' WITH NO OTHER

+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
+eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
+compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
+the old filename and etext number.  The replaced older file is renamed.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org">http://www.gutenberg.org</a>
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
+
+EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
+are filed in directories based on their release date.  If you want to
+download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
+search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
+download by the etext year.
+
+<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/">http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/</a>
+
+    (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
+     98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)
+
+EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
+filed in a different way.  The year of a release date is no longer part
+of the directory path.  The path is based on the etext number (which is
+identical to the filename).  The path to the file is made up of single
+digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename.  For
+example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:
+
+http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/0/2/3/10234
+
+or filename 24689 would be found at:
+http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/2/4/6/8/24689
+
+An alternative method of locating eBooks:
+<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/GUTINDEX.ALL">http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/GUTINDEX.ALL</a>

+
+
+PREFACE
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+The following pages contain a fragment of the Journal of a young lady of
+Virginia of the last century.
+
+It seems to have been written by her while on a visit to her relatives,
+the Lees, Washingtons, and other families of Lower Virginia, mentioned
+in her Journal.
+
+The friend for whom it was intended was Miss Polly Brent, also of
+Virginia.
+
+The manuscript was found torn, and discolored by age, in an old desk at
+the country place in Maryland, to which Polly Brent carried it, upon her
+marriage into one of the old families of that State.
+
+The Lees, of whom so much mention is made in the Journal--"Nancy,"
+"Molly," "Hannah," and "Harriet"--were the daughters of Richard Henry
+Lee, of Chantilly. Molly married W. A. Washington, and Hannah was--at
+the time of the Journal--the wife of Corbin Washington. Their grandson,
+John A. Washington, was the last occupant of Mount Vernon.
+
+Harriet married the son of Mrs. Turberville, the "old lady" spoken of in
+the manuscript.
+
+Ludwell Lee, a son of Richard Henry Lee, married the "Flora" of this
+chronicle. She was a daughter of Philip Ludwell Lee, of Stratford, and
+sister of Matilda Lee, the first wife of "Colonel Henry Lee;" whose
+little boy is mentioned as so "fine" a "child." Colonel Henry Lee was
+none other than "Light-horse Harry;" the "little boy," his eldest son
+Henry, half-brother to General Robert E. Lee.
+
+It is believed the publication of this Journal will be well received, at
+a period when everything relating to the family of General Lee is of
+peculiar interest. It presents, also, a curious picture of the life and
+manners of that day.
+
+There will be found in it many errors, and some antiquities of
+orthography, which it has not been deemed advisable to correct. It is
+believed that the Journal will be more entertaining in its original
+state than it would be with the aid of any amendments that we might
+make. It is certainly the work of a very clever girl, and possesses all
+that freedom of style and charming simplicity which is so pleasing and
+so rare.
+
+Had the writer anticipated any criticism more searching than that of her
+amiable Polly, her style and orthography would doubtless have been more
+correct, and her Journal quite as commonplace as most of those that find
+their way into print.
+
+The proceeds of the sale of this little volume will be devoted to the
+"Lee Memorial Association of Richmond," which must further commend it to
+the favor of the public.

+
+Sept. 16.
+
+
+FROM LUCINDA TO MARCIA
+
+_THE WILDERNESS, September 16._
+
+[Sidenote: "Wilderness" Residence of John Grymes, Esq., who married Miss
+Fitzhugh, of Eagle's Nest. One of this family was Gen. Robert Lee's
+grandmother.]
+
+I hear you say, "The Wilderness! where in the world is that, Lucy?" It
+is the name of this place. I can't say I was much struck with the
+situation of the House; but they are as kind, good People as I ever saw.
+
+
+Sept. 17.
+
+To-day is Sunday. Old Mrs. Gordon lives in sight of this [place]. One of
+her Daughters is just come--Lucy Gordon--very clever, though not a
+Beauty.
+
+A Mr. Spotswood and his Lady are come to dine here. I must dress, of
+course.
+
+They are gone.
+
+Mrs. Spotswood, I think, is very Affable and agreeable, though not
+handsome. She has invited us to see her, and we shall go day after
+to-morrow.
+
+I have spent the day pretty agreeably. Lucy Gordon is to stay with me
+to-night.
+
+[Sidenote: Col. Ball, probably the aide and kinsman of Gen. Washington:
+his second wife was Frances Washington, niece and legatee of Gen.
+Washington.]
+
+I have spent the morning in reading; and, much to my satisfaction, old
+Mrs. Gordon is just come to spend the day here. Lucy Gordon and myself
+are just returned from walking out. I was delighted: we walked to a
+river--they call it here; but it is very narrow. The banks of it are
+beautiful, covered with moss and wild flowers; all that a romantic mind
+could form. I thought of my Polly, and thought how delighted she would
+have been had she been a Spectater of the scene; and how much more
+pleased would your Lucy have been, how more delighted if she could have
+had her Polly to point out the Beauties too, and make her observations:
+but her dear Company was denied. Lucy Gordon is a truly good Girl, but
+nothing of the romance in her. So much the better, say I; she is much
+happier without. I wish to Heaven I had as little. Colonel Ball dined
+here to-day: a very clever man.
+
+
+Sept. 18.
+
+To-day we return Mrs. Spotswood's visit. I have to crape my hair, which,
+of all things, is the most disagreeable. Adieu, my Polly, till my
+return.
+
+Well, my dear, I am returned; and much pleased. Mrs. Spotswood is
+mighty clever in her house. She has a Daughter, about twelve years old
+(though very large of her age--she is as tall as I am), very agreeable,
+though not handsome.
+
+They are at cards below, and have sent for me to join them, though I had
+much rather stay and converse with my Polly; yet politeness obliges my
+obeying the summons.
+
+
+Sept. 19.
+
+To-day we dine at Old Mrs. Gordon's: I flatter myself I shall spend this
+day agreeably. This evening Colonel Ball insisted on our drinking tea
+with him: we did, and I was much pleased with my visit; his Wife was not
+at home.
+
+I have returned, and am sitting alone, writing to my dearest Polly. I
+don't think I ever met with kinder, better People in my life; they do
+everything in their Power to make you happy. I have almost determined
+not to go to the races this Fall: every one appears to be astonished at
+[me,] but I am sure there is no sollid happiness to be found in such
+amusements. I don't think I could answer for myself if you were to go;
+and then I should only go to be with you. I have no notion of
+sacrificing my own ease and happiness to the Opinion of the world in
+these matters. They laugh, and tell me, while I am mopeing at home,
+other girls will be enjoying themselves at races and balls; but I never
+will, I am determined, go to one, unless I have an inclination. I would
+not have you think from this that I pay no regard to the opinion of the
+World; far from it: next to that of a good conscience, the opinion of
+the world is to be regarded. Always pay due regard to that.
+
+
+Sept. 20.
+
+I have spent this morning in reading _Lady Julia Mandeville_, and was
+much affected. Indeed, I think I never cried more in my life reading a
+Novel: the stile is beautiful, but the tale is horrid. I reckon you have
+read it. Some one just comes to tell us A Mr. Masenbird and Mr.
+Spotswood is come. We must go down, but I am affraid both Sister's and
+my eyes will betray us. Adieu. I will describe the Gentlemen on my
+return.
+
+Mr. Spotswood is the Gentleman we visited the other day. I think him
+handsome. Mr. Masenbird is an Englishman, and single, that has settled
+in this part of the World. I had heard he was a very uncouth creature,
+but he is quite the reverse--very polite, not handsome.
+
+Interrupted again. They are come to tell me a Mr. Grimes and his Lady
+are come to wait on us. I must throw aside my pen, and go down to be
+introduced. Adieu. I will write more when we retire to dress.
+
+[Sidenote: Of the Nicholas family.]
+
+Mrs. Grimes is very handsome, though appears to be a little proud.
+Sister is almost drest; I shall have but little time to smart myself.
+Adieu. My Great-Coat shall be my dress to day.
+
+
+Sept. 21.
+
+To-day we return Mrs. Grimes's visit. I am going to wear my straw dress
+and my large hat; Sister wears A blue habit, with a white Sattin scirt.
+Adieu. I have but little time to dress.
+
+I am returned, and was delighted with my visit. They live in a very
+genteel stile. She is one of the cleverest Women I have seen for some
+time. I saw there Miss Betty Lee, and A Miss Judy Roberson; the first
+is homely, though right agreeable--the latter is, I think, rather
+clever. You can't conceive anything more nice or genteel than
+every[thing] was. I never was more pleased in my life. I am summon'd to
+supper. Adieu, my Polly; may every blessing attend you! Lucy Gordon is
+here, and has been ever since I came. I like her more and more every
+day.
+
+
+Sept. 22.
+
+To-day we dine with old Mrs. Gordon. Lucy and myself are going to walk
+over now; Sister and Mrs. Gordon will not go this hour. Adieu. I will
+carry my Journal with me.
+
+We had a very pleasant walk; got a number of grapes and nuts in our way.
+Lucy and myself are going to walk in the Garden, to get some pink-seed I
+am anxious to have. The Gentlemen dined to-day at Mr. Masenbird's. Mrs.
+Gordon and sister are come: they have proposed cards, and I am called
+to join them. Adieu.
+
+I would have staid to-night with old Mrs. Gordon, but expected to go
+down to-Morrow. Lucy and myself had a pleasant walk back. The married
+folks went on before.
+
+We have supped, and the gentlemen are not returned yet. Lucy and myself
+are in a peck of troubles for fear they should return drunk. Sister has
+had our bed moved in her room. Just as we were undress'd and going to
+bed, the Gentlemen arrived, and we had to scamper. Both tipsy!
+
+
+Sept. 23.
+
+To-day is Sunday. Brother was so worsted by the frolick yesterday, we
+did not set off to-day. Old Mrs. Gordon dines here to-day. Lucy and
+myself are going to walk to the river, and get a nosegay of wild
+flowers.
+
+We are returned, and was much delighted with our walk. We went to
+Colonel Ball's, and sat some time in the Porch; they are from home.
+Dinner is almost ready, and I have to dress. The children have
+surrounded me the whole evening, as it is to be the last we stay.
+
+
+Sept. 24.
+
+We are just going to take our leave of these worthy People: I should
+like to stay some time longer, if it was convenient. Adieu: the Chariot
+is ready.
+
+[Sidenote: _Belleview._ Residence of Thomas Ludwell Lee.]
+
+Well, my dearest Lavinia, I am arrived at _Belleview_, a good deal
+fatigued, where we found Mr. Bushrod Washington and his lady, on their
+way down. She is fonder of me than ever; prest me to go with her to
+Maryland this Winter. Mr. Phil Fitzhugh is likewise here. He said, at
+supper, he was engaged to dance with one of the Miss Brents at a Ball
+in Dumfries, but that it was only conditionally. Mammy has just sent me
+word she has a letter for me--it is from Nancy, I am sure. Adieu.
+
+[Sidenote: _Chantilly._ Residence of Richard H. Lee.]
+
+It was, and one for you enclosed in it. Nancy writes me her Sister
+Pinkard is at _Chantilly_. It must be a great acquisition to her
+happiness to have so amiable a companion as I have heard she was.
+
+
+Sept. 25.
+
+The Company is all gone, and I have seated myself to converse with my
+Polly. Mrs. A. Washington has lent me a new Novel, called _Victoria_. I
+can't say I admire the Tale, though I think it prettyly told. There is a
+verse in it I wish you much to read. I believe, if I a'n't too Lazy, I
+will copy it off for you: the verse is not very butifull, but the sense
+is, I assure you.
+
+
+Sept. 26.
+
+To-day I have spent in putting my cloaths to rights--a dreadful task,
+you will say. I am going to take a little airing this evening. Adieu:
+the horses are at the door.
+
+
+Sept. 27.
+
+[Sidenote: Mr. Charles Lee--afterward Attorney-General in Gen.
+Washington's second Cabinet--married the "Nancy" of the narrative.]
+
+I was sitting busy at work, when some one told me Mr. Charles Lee was
+here. He was from _Chantilly_; and I flew out in expectation of a
+letter. What do you think I felt, when, instead of a letter, he told me
+my Nancy was very ill? My Polly, I am sure, will sympathize with me.
+What would I not give to see her! but that is denied me. I hope to God
+she is better! Mr. Lee says they did not apprehend any great danger.
+
+
+Sept. 28.
+
+This morning Mr. Lee left us. Every time I see him I like him more and
+more. He has proved himself a truly good Brother. I am very uneasy with
+regard to Nancy--I wish to Heaven I could hear from her.
+
+
+Sept. 29.
+
+Mrs. Graem, Letty Ball, and Harry G---- called here to-day. Mrs. Graem,
+poor creature, appears much distressed at the death of her Children.
+When we come to consider, I think it much better for them: but how
+seldom can a Mother reason in this manner! Cousin Nancy is better, she
+told me: pray Heaven it may be so.
+
+[Sidenote: _Richland._ Residence of Daniel Brent, Esq.]
+
+When Mrs. Graem came to-day, some one came running in and said the
+_Richland_ chariot was coming. You may be assured I flew to the door.
+Oh, how disappointed I was!
+
+
+Sept. 30.
+
+To-day is Sunday, and I am going to church. Brother Aylett is going in
+the Chariot with me. I am this moment going to crape and dress. I shall
+wear my Great-Coat and dress Hat. Adieu, till my return.
+
+[Sidenote: _Selvington._ Residence of Thomas Selden.]
+
+[Sidenote: _Chatham._ Residence of William Fitzhugh, grandfather of Mrs.
+Robert E. Lee. He afterward removed to _Ravensworth_, in Fairfax Co.,
+when _Chatham_ was occupied by his brother, Mr. Philip Fitzhugh.]
+
+I am returned. Mrs. Brook, Mrs. Selden, and Nancy were all at church in
+deep mourning. They were very civil to me, and prest me to dine at
+_Selvington_. Mr. James Gordon is come to dinner from _Chatham_. Mrs.
+Fitzhugh has sent me a very pressing invitation to go there this
+evening, and to-morrow to the races; but I have not the smallest
+inclination, and shall not go. This Mr. Gordon is a mighty clever man--I
+wish you could see him. I saw a beauty at church, a Miss Thaskkel. She
+has hazel eyes, fine complexion, and Beautiful Auburn hair, which hung
+in ringlets upon her neck.
+
+We were sitting drinking tea this evening, when what should we see
+coming but Mr. Washington's Carriage. I was delighted, you may be
+assured. They were all mighty well. I inquired for you. Cousin Molly
+told me you were in perfect health, and that your sister Brent and
+Nancy Ambler were with you--then I suppose my Polly is happy. I have a
+thousand Questions to ask about them, but I hope you will write me an
+exact detail of every thing that happened while there. You have been at
+a tea-drinking lately, in Dumfries: Mrs. A. Washington gave me the whole
+History of it--told me your dresses, and every thing. But where am I
+running to? I had forgot there was Company in the House, so happy am I
+always conversing with my Polly. Adieu.
+
+[Sidenote: Richard Brent, U. S. Senator from Virginia for many years.]
+
+You will smile, I am sure, when I tell you what I am about to do. Will
+you believe when I tell you I am this moment going to pack up my cloaths
+to go to _Chantilly_? Adieu. Some one has just come to tell me your
+Brother Richard is come. I must go and inquire for my Polly.
+
+You are very well, he sais. I shall give him your letter from Nancy.
+The Gentlemen are all in high spirits, thinking, I suppose, of the
+pleasure of to-morrow. I shall be far from this [place] by that time. I
+must quit, as the Boys are come for me to get Sweetmeats for supper.
+
+
+October 1.
+
+I must really take my pen to scribble a little before I set off. The
+Gentlemen are just set off to the races, and I am preparing to set off
+for _Chantilly_. Adieu, my Polly.
+
+
+October 2.
+
+I have arrived at _Chantilly_. Nancy was much better than I expected to
+find her. Weakness is her only complaint. She was delighted to see me,
+and inquired eagerly for her dear Polly, and was much pleased with your
+letter.
+
+Mrs. Pinkard is here--and a sweet Woman she is. Adieu. Nancy says I
+shall not write more.
+
+
+October 3.
+
+I am just up, and am going to seat myself for Sibby to crape my hair.
+
+[Sidenote: _Stratford._ Residence of Philip Ludwell Lee.]
+
+Cousin Nancy and myself have just returned from taking an airing in the
+Chariot. We went to _Stratford_: walked in the Garden, sat about two
+hours under a butifull shade tree, and eat as many figs as we could. How
+did we wish for our dear Polly, and think that was the only thing we
+wanted to compleat our happiness!
+
+We brought to _Chantilly_ Col. H. Lee's little Boy. He has stayed at
+_Stratford_ since his Papa and Mama went to New York. I assure you he is
+a very fine child. Dinner announced. Adieu.
+
+Nancy is rather unwell this evening; she is a little fatigued with her
+ride. Adieu. I must go and talk, to raise her spirits.
+
+
+October 4.
+
+To-day I have been busy making a cap. I don't think it clever, though I
+have spent a good while about it. Nancy and myself have been locked up
+stairs by ourselves all day. She is better to-day than she was
+yesterday.
+
+Oh, my Marcia, how hard is our fate! that we should be deprived of your
+dear company, when it would compleat our Felicity--but such is the fate
+of Mortals! We are never permitted to be perfectly happy. I suppose it
+is right, else the Supreme Disposer of all things would not have
+permitted it: we should perhaps have been more neglectful than we are of
+our duty.
+
+
+October 5.
+
+Mr. Pinkard and a Mr. Lee came here to-day from the Fredericksburg
+races. How sorry I was to hear "Republican" was beaten. I was really
+interested in that race. Adieu. I must crape my hair for dinner.
+
+It is a delightful evening. Nancy and myself are going to take a ride
+out in the Chariot. Oh, my Polly, why are you not here to join us! Away
+with such thoughts--they almost make me melloncholy. Nancy calls me.
+Adieu again. I come! I come!
+
+We are returned, and had a delightful ride, and a much more delightful
+_tete-a-tete_. This Lee appears to be a hum-drum, disagreeable Creature.
+Tea is ready, and I must bid you good-by.
+
+
+October 6.
+
+I wish, my Polly, you could see Mrs. Pinkard. You would be delighted
+with her. She is, I think, among the finest Women I have seen; and is
+thought very beautifull.
+
+I have been very agreeably entertained this evening, reading a Novel
+called _Malvern Dale_. It is something like _Evelina_, though not so
+pretty.
+
+I have a piece of advice to give you, which I have before urged--that
+is, to read something improving. Books of instruction will be a thousand
+times more pleasing [after a little while] than all the novels in the
+World. I own myself, I am too fond of Novel-reading; but, by accustoming
+myself to reading other Books, I have become less so, and I wish my
+Polly to do the same.
+
+
+October 7.
+
+This is Sunday. We have been collected in the Chamber, reading the
+Lessons of the day. After that, Nancy and myself plann'd a ride out on
+horseback, which we are just going to put in execution. Adieu. I will
+resume my pen on my return.
+
+We are returned. I can't say I was much delighted with the ride, as I
+rode a very hard-going horse. They had dined when we returned.
+
+
+October 8.
+
+Mr. Newton dined here to-day. I believe you know him, and therefore need
+not describe him. I have been very busy to-day working a little screne,
+to hold in my hand to prevent the fire from burning my face. I think it
+will be beautifull.
+
+I have seated myself in my (w)rapper to scribble a little. Mr. Pinkard
+has been reading a Play all the evening to Nancy and myself. We were
+much pleased with it. Nancy grows better and better every day--which I
+am delighted at. Adieu: sleep has closed my eyes.
+
+
+October 9.
+
+I was in danger last night of commiting a great piece of rudeness; the
+Play Mr. Pinkard read us was the _Bell Strattagem_. Mr. Newton was by
+when it was read. Some one ask't him sometime afterwards what the Play
+was. He said the _Country Cousin_. I thought I should have burst with
+laughter!
+
+The two Gentlemen went to the Court-house to-day. Molly and myself took
+a walk this evening, and should have walk't much farther had we not met
+the Gentlemen. Mr. Newton dismounted and walkt home with us.
+
+
+October 10.
+
+I have seated myself to give you the adventures of to-day. Mr. C.
+Washington returned to-day from Fredericksburg. You can't think how
+rejoiced Hannah was, and how dejected in his absence she always is. You
+may depend upon it, Polly, this said Matrimony alters us mightely. I am
+afraid it alienates us from every one else. It is, I fear, the bane of
+Female Friendship. Let it not be with ours, my Polly, if we should ever
+Marry. Adieu. Harriet calls me to supper. Once more good-by.
+
+
+October 11.
+
+Hannah and myself were going to take a long walk this evening, but were
+prevented by the two horred Mortals, Mr. Pinkard and Mr. Washington, who
+seized me and kissed me a dozen times in spite of all the resistance I
+could make. They really think, now they are married, they are prevaliged
+to do any thing.
+
+
+October 12.
+
+I am going to tell you a little piece of a secret; but you must never
+mention it. Nancy had an admirer lately--who do you think it is? No
+other than Mr. Newton. He got his discard yesterday.
+
+It is in the evening. Nancy and myself have been to visit our little
+garden [you have frequently heard me speak of it]. We were so
+unfortunate as to make it on the side of the hill, and it is wash't very
+much. Do you visit our dear pledge, and think of your Lucy? How often
+do I think with rapture on the happy hours we spent sitting on the
+fence, singing and looking at the river with the Moon shining on it. Oh,
+how beautiful it look't! Adieu.
+
+
+October 13.
+
+[Sidenote: _Pecatone._ Residence of Mrs. Turberville.]
+
+I had almost forgot to tell you that to-morrow Mrs. Pinkard, Cousin
+Molly, and myself go below the ferry to _Pecatone_, and Mr.
+Ballendine's. I am very busy getting ready for the trip. Adieu.
+
+It is in the evening. There are two Beaux just come. Mrs. Pinkard tels
+me I must go out and let her introduce them to me. The first I am
+acquainted with: he is homely, but a mighty worthy Man. The second I
+never saw before--he is tolerably clever. Nancy and myself are going to
+pore out tea.
+
+
+October 14.
+
+I have but one moment to tell you that Nancy and myself are in a great
+hurry dressing. We are afraid we shall not be ready for breakfast, and
+we set off directly afterwards. This is Sunday. Cousin Washington and
+Nancy go as far as the Church, and return to _Chantilly_. Adieu, my dear
+Polly.
+
+
+October 15.
+
+[Sidenote A: _Nomini._ Built by "Counsellor Carter," son of "King
+Carter."]
+
+[Sidenote: _Bushfield._ Residence of Mr. Washington.]
+
+Well, my dear, we arrived late last night at _Pecatone_. When I wrote
+last we weare sitting off. We all dined at Doctor Thomson's[A] together.
+Mrs. Washington and Milly called there in the evening on their way to
+_Bushfield_. I never saw Milly before. I think I am a little
+disappointed in her beauty. She is not so pretty as I expected to find.
+I was distressed at parting with Nancy, but could not persuade her to
+come.
+
+I don't think you ever saw Cousin Turberville or Hannah. The first is
+homely, but very polite and hospitable in her house. The latter has not
+a handsome face, but is a genteel person. They gave us a very polite
+reception. Hannah was dressed in a lead-courlered habbit, open, with a
+lylack lutestring scirt. She had a butifull crape cushon on, ornamented
+with gauze and flowers.
+
+I must bid you Adieu, for the Ladies are just dressed, and I shall not
+be ready for Breakfast.
+
+I am just returned from riding out. While we were at Breakfast Cousin
+Molly proposed a ride to the store. It is kept by a Mr. Thomson--Brother
+to the Man it is said Miss H. Turberville is to Marry. Accordingly, we
+three went in the Chariot, and left the two Married Ladys by themselves.
+
+We have retired to dress for dinner. Shall I tell you our dresses? I
+hear you say "Yes." Mrs. P. wears a brocade; Cousin M. her pink
+Great-Coat, and I my pink. Adieu. Mrs. P. is going to dress my hair.
+
+Every moment I can spare from the Company I dedicate to you. Two Beaux
+dined here. Mr. James Thomson and Mr. Ford. In the evening two more
+came--Mr. Beal and Mr. Joe Thomson. We are all preparing to dance.
+Adieu: I hear the Fidle.
+
+
+October 16.
+
+We spent last night very agreeably. Danced till Eleven. My partner was
+Mr. Beal. This is a beautiful situation--the Garden extends from the
+House to the river [very much like _Retirement_]. I have been takeing a
+very agreeable walk there. An airing is proposed this morning. We all go
+in Mr. Turberville's Coach. Adieu: it is at the door.
+
+I don't know when I've been happier than I am now. Every thing conspires
+to make me so. Cousin Turberville is so Affectionate. She does every
+thing in her power to make her Company happy. I had forgot to tell you
+Cousin Hannah's dress yesterday. It was a blue lutestring habit, taffety
+apron and handkerchief, with the most butiful little hat on the side of
+her head I ever saw.
+
+We are dressing for dinner: this is a ceremony always practiced here. I
+wear my Great-Coat.
+
+We are just done tea; and are to have the same Gentlemen to dance again
+to-night.
+
+I begin to want very much to see my Polly. Ah! what would I not give to
+obtain that [happiness]. It appears a year since the morning I parted
+from you, and how long, very long will it be before I clasp you to my
+breast. I am deprived even the consolation of hearing from you. Adieu,
+my love. I must return to the Company.
+
+
+October 17.
+
+We danced last night, and every one appeared to be happy. I can answer
+for your Lucy: her partner was Mr. James Thomson--one of the best
+dancers I most ever saw. Early this morning came one of the Miss
+Ballendine's--truly Amiable, I believe, but not handsome. But how
+prefarable is good sense and affability to Beauty: more pleasing a
+thousand times!
+
+Cousin Molly and Hannah T. have rode to Mr. Ballendine's to bring the
+other Sister. She is to be married soon to a Mr. Murfey.
+
+The old man being sick that plays the Fidle, we have diverted ourselves
+playing _grind the bottle_ and _hide the thimble_. Our time passed away
+agreeably enough.
+
+
+October 18.
+
+Miss Nancy Ballendine would not come yesterday. Miss Eliza is still
+here; and a sweet Girl she is. I wish you could see her: I am sure my
+Polly would be pleased with her. We have been taking a walk together in
+the Garden, and talk't of my Polly. She told me Mr. Macrae intended
+paying his addresses to you on his way up. I long to hear if he has.
+
+We have the addition of two more Gentlemen to-night. A Doctor
+Harrington--a handsome man, I think--and an elderly Gentleman, Captain
+Grigg; the most laughable creature I ever saw. They tell me I shall be
+highly diverted at the minuet he dances; and we intend to make him dance
+one to-night.
+
+
+October 19.
+
+I don't think I ever laugh't so much in my life as I did last night at
+Captain Grigg's minuet. I wish you could see him. It is really the most
+ludicrous thing I ever saw; and what makes it more so is, he thinks he
+dances a most delightful one.
+
+To-day we go to Mr. Ballendine's. Adieu, my Love.
+
+I am delighted with this Family. They take delight in promoting each
+other's happiness, and they do it effectually; for I believe they are
+perfectly happy. Mrs. Ballendine is handsome--more so than either of her
+Daughters. Mr. Newton came this evening as we were at tea.
+
+
+October 20.
+
+To-day is disagreeable and rainy. The young Ladys have been showing us
+the wedding-cloaths and some dresses they had from London; very genteel
+and pretty. Mr. Newton is still here, and is, I think, a very
+disagreeable creature. I wonder how Nancy did to bear with him. The
+young Ladys have been singing for me: they are mighty obliging, and sing
+whenever they are ask't.
+
+
+October 21.
+
+We have just returned this morning from visiting Mrs. Esquire Lee.
+
+I never saw her before. She received us very graciously, and is, I
+think, rather clever. We returned just as dinner was on the table. Miss
+Nancy's sweetheart came to-day. Mr. Murfey is a very good Man, I
+believe, but he is very homely. Adieu, my dearest.
+
+
+October 22.
+
+We return this morning to _Pecatone_. Adieu.
+
+We are at _Pecatone_, and dressing. There are several Gentlemen to dine
+here. Mr. Thomson has invited this Family and ourselves to drink tea
+with him this evening. He has had a New Cargo of tea arrived. We intend
+going, and I shall not scribble again to-night.
+
+
+October 23.
+
+We went to Mr. Thomson's; returned, and danced at night. Mr. Turberville
+and Mr. Beal each made us all a present of a pound of Powder. I really
+have a great Affection for Mrs. Pinkard. She always chooses my
+head-dress, dresses my hair, and is the best Creature in lending you any
+thing. If you just say you want a thing, if she happens to have it, she
+will insist on your wearing it. Cousin Hannah has a quantity of Cloaths.
+She has put on every day since I have been here a different dress of
+muslin, and all handsome. Adieu, my best beloved. I have but little time
+to scribble, and that is only when we retire to dress.
+
+
+October 24.
+
+We were entertained last night in the usual way--dancing. We have just
+returned from taking a delightful walk. We went to the peach orchard and
+eat a great many fine peaches. They are seldom met with this time of the
+year.
+
+
+October 25.
+
+[Sidenote: _Lee Hall._ Residence of Richard Lee.]
+
+To-day we dine at _Lee Hall_--that is, at the Squire's. To-morrow we
+dine at _Bushfield_, with the _Pecatone_ Family. Adieu; I will write
+when I get there.
+
+I am at _Lee Hall_. Mrs. Lee is very polite. We found a Mrs. Ball here.
+She has the remains of a very pretty Woman, and appears to have a fixt
+melancholy on her countenance. I expect to see Nancy to-morrow at
+Bushfield--pray send I may. Mr. Beal and Mr. Pinkard are come. Adieu: I
+am called to supper.
+
+
+October 26.
+
+I have but one moment to tell you we are just going to set out for
+_Bushfield_. Mr. Turberville's Coach is waiting for us at the road.
+
+
+October 27.
+
+When we got here we found the House pretty full. Nancy was here. I had
+to dress in a great hurry for dinner. We spent the evening very
+agreeably in chatting. Milly Washington is a thousand times prettyer
+than I thought her at first, and very agreeable. About sunset, Nancy,
+Milly, and myself took a walk in the Garden [it is a most butifull
+place]. We were mighty busy cutting thistles to try our sweethearts,
+when Mr. Washington caught us; and you can't conceive how he plagued
+us--chased us all over the Garden, and was quite impertinent.
+
+I must tell you of our frolic after we went in our room. We took it into
+our heads, to want to eat; well, we had a large dish of bacon and beaf;
+after that, a bowl of Sago cream; and after that, an apple pye. While we
+were eating the apple pye in bed--God bless you! making a great
+noise--in came Mr. Washington, dressed in Hannah's short gown and
+peticoat, and seazed me and kissed me twenty times, in spite of all the
+resistance I could make; and then Cousin Molly. Hannah soon followed,
+dress'd in his Coat. They joined us in eating the apple pye, and then
+went out. After this we took it in our heads to want to eat oysters. We
+got up, put on our rappers, and went down in the Seller to get them: do
+you think Mr. Washington did not follow us and scear us just to death.
+We went up tho, and eat our oysters. We slept in the old Lady's room
+too, and she sat laughing fit to kill herself at us. She is a charming
+old lady--you would be delighted with her. I forgot to tell, Mr. Beal
+attended us here. I have been makeing Milly play on the forti-pianer for
+me; she plays very well. I am more and more delighted with her. She has
+just returned from the Fredericksburg races, and has given me a full
+account of them.
+
+I have been filling out tea, and after that we took a walk to the river
+by Moonlight. The garden extends to the river. Nancy observed walking by
+moonlight, she thought, reminded us of our absent Friends. I joined her
+in thinking so, and my thoughts were at that instant with my Polly. We
+returned in the house, and I prevailed on Milly to entertain us an hour
+or two on the forti-pianer. We wanted very much to sleep in a room by
+ourselves to-night and try the _dum cake_, but could not persuade
+Nancy--she was afraid to sleep in the room with us.
+
+
+October 28.
+
+[Sidenote B: _Nomini._]
+
+To-day, which is Sunday, we dine at Doctor Thomson's,[B] and in the
+evening go to _Chantilly_. Nancy stays, and goes to-Morrow with Corbin
+and Hannah in the Pheyton. Adieu, my ever dear Polly.
+
+
+October 29.
+
+[Sidenote C: Beal's--a family distinguished in the Revolution. This one
+is probably the same who was an officer in the war. Died a bachelor.]
+
+_Chantilly._ We got here late last night. In the evening, at Doctor
+Thomson's, we heard, just by, there were six people to be dipt. We had
+Curiosity to see them, and accordingly went. I assure you it is a very
+Solemn Sight. We brought two Beaux home with us--Mr. Beal[C] and Mr.
+Stark.
+
+
+October 30.
+
+To-day is rainy and disagreeable, which will prevent their comeing from
+_Bushfield_. I have entertained myself all day reading _Telemachus_. It
+is really delightful, and very improveing. Just as I have seated myself
+they are come to tell me tea is ready. Farewell.
+
+
+October 31.
+
+Mr. Beal is still here. I assure you I think him very clever. Nancy is
+not yet come. I am quite lost without her. I have seated myself at
+Nancy's desk to scribble a little--interrupted already. It is Cousin
+Molly. She is come to propose dressing Mr. Pinkard in Woman's cloaths. I
+assent, so away goes the pen.
+
+Just as we had got Mr. Pinkard dress't, came Corbin, Hannah, and Nancy.
+
+
+Nov. 1.
+
+Nancy and myself have just returned from a delightful walk. What do you
+think of her? She sais she could almost sware Mr. Beal is my slave! I
+laugh, and tell her there is nothing in it; nor do I believe he is.
+
+Mr. Pinkard came in just now, and like to have taken this from me, tho I
+luckily got it in my pocket before he could get it.
+
+
+Nov. 2.
+
+To-day, Corbin and Hannah go to _Blenheim_, the seat of Mr. W.
+Washington. Hariot is going with them.
+
+How much do I want to see my Polly! I hope, by this time, you are almost
+through your Book.
+
+
+Nov. 3.
+
+To-day the Beaux took their leave. Last night Nancy had a fire made up
+in one of the up-stairs rooms, and was busily engaged in conversation,
+when Mr. Pinkard bolted in upon us and overheard part of our
+conversation--which hily delighted him.
+
+To-morrow, Mrs. Pinkard, Nancy, and myself go to _Blenheim_. All the
+_Bushfield_ Family are there. How often do we wish for our dear Polly!
+but she is denied us.
+
+
+Nov. 4.
+
+We are now at _Blenheim_. The Hurry of dress prevented my writeing
+before I sat off. I am delighted with this Family, and still more
+delighted with Milly Washington. She is indeed a sweet Girl.
+
+There came this evening a Major More Fauntleroy. We have had a heartty
+laugh at him; he is a Monstrous Simpleton; and likewise came this
+evening the hopefull Youth--A. Spotswood. He has lately commenced
+Milly's lover. Nancy and myself have been teasin to get [something] out
+of her, but she is inflexible.
+
+I have been very much entertained hearing Cousin Washington perform on
+the Spinnet. Adieu, my Friend. I can write no more.
+
+
+Nov. 5.
+
+This is Sunday. We have just breakfasted. There came this morning one
+of the cleverest young Beaux I have seen for some time--a Mr. Turner.
+
+Cousin Hannah and Hariet take our places this morning in the Chariot.
+Nancy and myself stay till the evening, and go with Mr. Washington in
+his Pheyton.
+
+Nancy, Milly, and myself have shut ourselves in a room up stairs, and
+intend not to go down till summoned to dinner. The Topic of our
+Conversation is, regretting the manner in which we have spent our past
+life. It will tend to some good, you will say, if it will make us mend
+in future.
+
+I have, for the first time in my life, just read Pope's _Eloiza_. Just
+now I saw it laying in the Window. I had heard my Polly extol it
+frequently, and curiosity lead me to read it. I will give you my
+opinion of it: the poetry I think beautiful, but do not like some of the
+sentiments. Some of Eloiza's is too Ammorous for a female, I think.
+
+We set off this evening for _Chantilly_--but the Pheyton wheel broke,
+and we were obliged to turn back. Old Mrs. Washington has promised her
+Carriage to us to go in the morning.
+
+
+Nov. 6.
+
+_Chantilly._ We sat off early in the morning, and we reached here this
+morning before breakfast. I found Mama's Jem here. How delighted I am to
+hear of the Health of all my Friends above. He could not give me any
+information about you, except that he believes you are very well, which
+I am very much pleased to hear.
+
+Aunt Lee has been very sick for several days with a violent toothache.
+
+
+Nov. 7.
+
+[Sidenote: _Berry Hill._ A country-seat of Thomas L. Lee.]
+
+This is a delightful evening, my dear. Nancy and myself have just
+returned from a delightfull walk to the river. On our return we two
+loll'd on the Sopha. I shall go up to _Berry Hill_ directly the Pheyton
+is mended. Mr. Washington is to carry me.
+
+
+Nov. 8.
+
+To-day Old Mrs. Washington and Milly came. Nancy and myself have been
+dressing for dinner. N. looks handsomer to-day than I have seen her
+since I came. Adieu. I have not another moment to scribble.
+
+Milly and myself took a walk to-night by moonlight. She knows you, she
+says, and thinks you beautifull.
+
+We are going to join Nancy and Mr. Washington in the dineing-room.
+Adieu, my beloved.
+
+
+Nov. 9.
+
+Mrs. Thomson, Mrs. Leland, and a Miss Leland are all just come, and
+unexpectedly too. I never saw the two last before. The first is a very
+clever old Lady, the latter very homely indeed. We are all going to
+dress. Adieu.
+
+Dinner is just over. Harry, the Fiddler, is sent for, and we are going
+to dance. I had forgot to tell, Mr. Spotswood came to-day. You can't
+conceive how angry Milly was. I soon got from her that he had promised
+never to trouble her again on the Subject, and she was displeased at his
+following her. Adieu--Harriet insists on my going out. She says the
+fiddle is come. Farewell, my love; may Heaven shower blessings on your
+head, prays your Lucinda. I always forget to make use of our other name.
+
+
+Nov. 10.
+
+[Sidenote: _Menokin._ Residence of Francis L. Lee.]
+
+To-day Old Mrs. W. goes to _Bushfield_, and leaves Milly behind. I have
+promised to go with Milly when she goes, if I don't go up before that
+time. Hannah and Corbin go with the Old Lady to-day. Cousin Molly and
+Mr. Pinkard go to _Menoken_ to-day.
+
+Mr. Spotswood took his leave this evening; which Milly rejoiced at.
+
+Nancy sleeps up stairs to-night with her Sister Pinkard. Milly, Miss
+Leland, and myself have the nurcery to ourselves. We want Nancy very
+much, but she is obliged to sleep up stairs.
+
+I had forgot to tell you, the second night at _Blenheim_, Milly, Nancy,
+and myself had a room to ourselves, and tried the _salt and egg_; but
+neither of us dreamt.
+
+I have undrest myself, and Sibby is going to comb my hair. Milly and
+Miss Leland are gone in the Garden. I propose to Sibby to go and
+frighten them: she agrees, and we are going to put it in execution.
+
+We scared them a good deal. Milly screamed pretty lustily.
+
+
+Nov. 11.
+
+We have just breakfasted. Mrs. Thomson and the Lelands have just
+departed. We are going hard to work. Milly is making herself a very
+pretty cap.
+
+Cousin Molly came to-night; quite wet, as she was caught in a hard rain.
+We shall sit up very late to-night--I trimming my dress, and the rest
+makeing caps. I expect to go on Monday to _Bushfield_, with Milly. Nancy
+and Molly will go about that time to Miss A. Ballendine's wedding.
+
+
+Nov. 12.
+
+What a surprise, my Polly, have we all had this morning, and a
+delightful one too. Before we were out of bed a servant from Mr.
+Macarty's came to let us know Aunt Fendall is arrived, and at Mr.
+Macarty's. We are all invited to dine there to-day. I am delighted at
+the thought of seeing Flora before I go up. The Pheyton is mended, and I
+shall set off in a day or two.
+
+[Sidenote: McCartys, married into the Lee family, lived at "Marmion."]
+
+I am not going to Mr. Macarty's to-day. I stay with Milly W. and Mrs.
+Pinkard. Aunt Lee, Molly, and Nancy go. It was my own choice to stay,
+for Nancy insisted on my going and her staying. They are gone. I drest
+Nancy's hair--she really look't beautiful to-day.
+
+We are going to seat ourselves and hear Mr. Pinkard read a Novel.
+
+Hannah and Corbin are just come from _Bushfield_. Mr. Washington sais he
+shall set off to-morrow.
+
+Milly will set off directly after dinner. She has promised to correspond
+with me.
+
+Milly has taken her leave, and I assure you I was a good deal affected
+at parting with her. She is a sweet Girl; and told me at parting that
+she was preposes'd with the notion we should never meet again. God
+forbid! I can write no more, my Marcia, for I have got to pack up my
+cloaths.
+
+I believe I shall scrible a little more to-night, if they should bring
+Flora home with them, if it is only to give you my opinion of her.
+
+Well, my dear, they are come, and, as I expected, brought Flora with
+them. She is very genteal, and wears monstrous Bustles. Her face is just
+as it always was. You, my dearest, that posses a great deal of
+Sencibility, would have supposed she would have been delighted to see
+me--far from it, I assure you. She saluted me just as if I had been a
+common acquaintance, and was not, I thought, at all glad to see me; but
+I suppose it is fashionable to affect indifference. I hope, my dearest,
+we shall always stear clear of such unnatural Fashions. She received
+Nancy in the same manner; that dear Friend and myself have just
+returned from a walk in the Garden--the last we shall take for some
+time, I am afraid.
+
+Dear Mrs. Pinkard sets off this morning, and Cousin Molly goes as far as
+_Peccatone_ with her.
+
+The arrival of Flora has prevented Nancy from going.
+
+I have just taken a last farewell of my dear Mrs. Pinkard--did I say a
+last farewell? I hope not. I should be unhappy did I think it a last
+farewell.
+
+Mr. W. and myself have defer'd setting off till the evening, and then we
+go as far as _Blenheim_ to-night....

+one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation
+(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without
+permission and without paying copyright royalties.  Special rules,
+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to
+protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm concept and trademark.  Project
+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission.  If you
+do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the
+rules is very easy.  You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose
+such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and
+research.  They may be modified and printed and given away--you may do
+practically ANYTHING with public domain eBooks.  Redistribution is

+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1

+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.

+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without

+Gutenberg-tm License.

+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or

+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE

+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit:

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
