Walked down to school with
the Russells. Did not kick
at recess as my side was
weak. Walked home slowly
on account of my side.
When I got home stuffed
on peaches. After dinner
fixed my osprey & put in his
eyes. Went to ride with father
late in P.M. through Belmont
& round the pond. Called in to
see C Carter after dark. Went
up to the Russell's in the evening.
The leaves of some maples have

off beautifully in the P.M.
Good breeze. Ther about
60º—75º—70º. Rose
only in time for breakfast.
Walked down to school

Soon after I got home C
Carter called & after getting some
lunch I went shooting with
him. We met Ruth on the
lane & we all three went through
the snipe swamp & up beyond
the Island. In the former place I
fired once & then twice at snipe:
in the latter, I shot a young quail
firing 3 times at them. Saw a rail.
Got home at 7 P.M. Went up to R's
