Written from Exeter, New Hampshire. Writes of being lonesome and wanting to hear from her friends, it having been a fortnight since she left Rockland for Exeter. Describes her voyage by ship to Boston and then by train to Exeter, having met on the boat "Mr. & Mrs. Gregory, of your house, and little Frankie." Describes seasickness on the overnight trip and her arrival in Boston, where she got food, "bought a Waverly, and seated myself in the Ladies Room." She describes being able to see part of Boston from the depot, but more during the ride to the depot, including the State House and the Bunker Hill Monument. She was traveling with Joseph, presumably her elder brother, who returned to Rockland with one of Mary's children. Georgia describes going berry-picking, and complains that she is "not very strong and a little walk tires me, but I think I am better than when I left home." She notes that she had written to "Mr. Kent" and plans sent him her photograph, since he had sent his. She asks if Grace is planning to continue her correspondence with "Mr Mc." [Henry McCahill] now that he has returned home. In a postscript she notes that General Grant, his family, and staff had passed through Exeter on their way to Canada: "The engine and car were beautifully decorated with flags." Envelope postmarked at Exeter, August 4, 1865, addressed to "Miss Grace D. Nichols, Rockland, Maine."
