On Indipendence day I rode to Colebrook post office and to visit sister Eunice. At the post office directed to my father and sister I found two papers from brother Asahel but no letters. Eunice had joined a party to sail on the ^Doolittles^ pond. On my return home I saw them cross the pond in the boat. I raised a flag in token of friendship and they answered but did not know me and as they passed my sight behind a grove I bowed to them in silence and said to myself God save my sister With brother Hale I took stage to New Hartford and from thence went to Avon and spent the night at aunt Helen Wheelers and visited my friends and kinsmen in the place.
