Holiday, and expect something all day, all on account
of a card from Milton. Judge Barker and
I rake up relationship. Spend part of
the morning with Jessie Mit in the library.
Go to joint session of Literary Societies in the evening. Grey Rochester and Mr. Miller declaim! O ye gods! May I never sit in the “freshman
corner” again! Very uncomfortable as to
the seats.
