July 3, 1858

Continued along in a slight rain through Bedford, crossing to Manchester, and driving by a brook in Hookset just above Pinnacle. Then through Allenstown and Pembroke, with its long street, to Loudon, leaving Concord on the left. Along the sandy roadside in a pitch pine wood in Loudon, much apparent Calystegia spithamæa in bloom, but I think with reddish flowers. Probably same with my New Bedford plant.
