English: Describes his vacation in the Catskills with Jesse Haney and the Edwards girls.
Transcription: some mountain exploration. So dismissing our driver, we took up our abode at Falk's tavern. 'Tis a plain wooden house, with perpendicular and iron ornament sign in front.

Her husband had written to him (Falk) inquiring whether he could accommodate them. It proved, of course to be Mr Alf Hill [Alfred Waud]. So we took a sufficiently spacious two bedded room, smelling herb-like and countryish, and setting my heart yearning towards Chacombe. After a plentiful though homely supper in a rear room looking out on a garden, we turned out, crossed the stream by a temporary foot bridge — the freshet has carried off the old one — and so to the girls [Eliza, Matty, and Sally Edwards]. They looked very healthy and happy, especially the younger ones. I love these Cattskills. I feel at peace here. 26. Tuesday. With the girls, their brother Jack [Edwards], and the little fellow Will up the streamlet, under conboy of a Mrs Williston, who resides here. A lovely sunny day.
