  A wintery-looking morning with 
about an inch of fresh damp snow covering
the ground & trees. Day sunny but raw.
  With Dimick, Poland & Kimball I
met a degation [delegation] of marketmen at 216
Washington Street at 10 a.m. Among them
were Mead, Hosmer & Bartlett. They
proposed various things but nothing in
the way of a compromise that we could
accept. We talked until 12.30 & then
separated for lunch. I went to the
State House at 3 P.M. Found Jeffries & 
Purdie [Henry A. Purdie] there. Just before the hearing
opened the marketmen made us an
offer which we quickly accepted.
I got home at 5.30.
