Very mild. Cloudy forenoon; sunny afternoon.
 C. [Caroline Brewster] Emmy Kettell & I took 10.03 A.M.
Shore Line train to New York. Very little
snow or ice near Boston & none at all
after passing Providence. Cattle roaming in
pastures, men rowing in small boats on
ponds & rivers, one spearing eels. Altogether
it looked more like March than February. 
Saw no birds except a few Crows & 
Gulls. Noon meal in dining car.
Reached New York at 4. Emmy left us
at station. We went to Murray Hill as
usual, back rooms (225 & 227) 2nd floor. Walked down
to 37th St. [Street] where C. [Caroline] called on Fanny Rodgers
who was out. Dinner at 7. Good
orchestral music in assembly hall 7.45 to
9. After that I smoked & wrote in
writing room. Hotel seems well fitted;
mostly quiet respectable people apparently
from West.

  C. [Caroline Brewster] & I went to church at
St. Bartholemew's [St. Bartholomew's Church] (44 St. & Maddison Ave.)

church in city. They took $2600. by contribution
last Sunday. Church very large & beautiful.
Music to-day finest I ever heard in any
church. Congregation mostly women,
elegantly dressed. Quantities of feathers 
on hats, birds of paradise plumes, gulls'
wings (dyed) an Owl's head, a few aigrettes.

of hours & then joined the others up stairs. 
The Kettells left at 4.30. C. then went
to church to meet Fanny Rodgers walking
home with her & returning at 6.30.
C. & I sat in assembly room through
evening listening to the music.
