14000 MILES 



"Squam." Our next day's drive through Magnolia, 

 Manchester-by-the-Sea and Beverly Farms took us to 

 the Essex House, Salem, where our course meets that of 

 the "other two." The interesting account of their drive 

 to this point need not be repeated, as we retrace their 

 steps through Marblehead, Swampscott, Lynn and 

 Saugus, thence to Boston. Here we visited, and our 

 horse rested a few days, when he proved himself more 

 than equal to the forty miles in one day, which ended our 

 last summer's journey. 



These recollections have been put together on the cars 

 (literally at railroad speed), without reference to diary, 

 home letters, map or guidebook, and briefly outline our 

 nine journeys and about three thousand miles' driving. 

 We have told you very little of our every-day enjoyment. 

 The perfect ease and safety with which we have accom- 

 plished this we attribute mainly to extreme caution and 

 constant consideration for our horse, and we are full of 

 courage for the future. We have friendly invitations 

 from Maine to Colorado and Wyoming, and trust we 

 may be spared to visit at least one of these points, when 

 we celebrate our tenth anniversary.
