1868
Thursday, December 31.
  Cloudy but did
not snow. Ther. about
26 [degrees]—36 [degrees]—30 [degrees].
Rose a little early &
shaved. Walked
down to school with
the boys. After getting
back from school
read till father came
out from Boston bringing
my boots in which the
plates had been set for
my club skates. Then
went to 'the pond'
with Farrar & J. Russell
and skated till nearly
six. Got the 'redoo".
The pond was smooth
in places but the
skating as a general thing
was not very good.
Was invited into Prof.
Horsford's to tea but did not
get home in time to go.
