  Took 9.25 train for Haverill [Haverhill]
where Charley Noyes met me. We
reached Merrimac at 11 and called
first on Uncle Henry. He has failed
sadly since I saw him last & will
not live much longer I fear. He &
Charley are very poor as their carriage
business is at an end. I agreed to
contribute $300 annually & more if
needed to Uncle Henry's income during
his life time. Saw Minnie, Sarah
& Helen. At the Goulds I found
Clara much changed. She is losing her 
mind. Got home at 7.30. Purdie [Henry A. Purdie]
