Pert, Hattie Glover and I started for Montpelier en route
for Burlington this morning at 6 o'clock in a crowded stage. They were on a
frolic; had a half dozen bandboxes in the front hall they pretended had got to
go, because they knew I objected to traveling with such. We had some backwoods
passengers which amused the girls greatly; arrived in Montpelier at 9 o'clock
a. m.; shopped some and took the 11 o'clock a. m. train for Burlington. Fred
Johonnott met us at the depot, who is engaged to Hattie, and took us to the
Stanton House; saw Hidden Hand played at the theatre in the evening.
