A Time to Dance-My America 3
“Baby Abe slept in his little basket for most of the trip, covered with a red blanket. When Jed helped us carry him off the train, he said we looked as if we were headed for a picnic!I think I am going to love our life here. I already love the home Jed has found for us -- a small set of furnished rooms above Brown's Shoe Store on Third Street. Jed and Jane Ellen will take the large front room, with Baby Abe4in a cradle next to their bed. Pa will sleep in the small bedroom. I will have a cot in a... room off the kitchen that was once the pantry.I think our rooms here are much nicer than our rooms in Washington City. The front room even has a piano! And Jane Ellen knows how to play!Now it is early morning, and she is playing a soft, happy tune. Carriages rattle by on the street outside. A woman strolls down the sidewalk with a basket on her head, calling, "Strawberries! Fresh strawberries!"New York seems a bit like a picnic indeed.July 3, 1865I have spent all morning cleaning our new home. Jane Ellen helped for a while, but quickly became too exhausted.MoreLess
