Cold & raw with high N.W. [northwest] wind.
Sun shining about 1/2 the time.
  Spent most of day with Gilbert [Robert Alexander Gilbert] &
George. We drew off the water
from both ponds & caught six large
Goldfish & a number of young ones
about 1/2 in. [inch] long. Two large Goldfish escaped.
Found the ponds swarming with big
[?] beetles. There were quantities 
of snails, a few Dragon Fly [dragonfly] larvae,
& one frog. Mud had accumulated on 
the bottom of those ponds to a depth
of 2 or 3 inches & they were foul & slimy.
Miss Olive & Miss Swazey lunched
with us at noon.

With Geo. E. Mackintire [George E. Mackintire] I took
8.45 A.M. train for Wolfeboro.
Came near missing it because Irving
failed to send a carriage to take me
to Porter's. Walked across & by a later train
than I had intended got to North Station
just in time. Many shallow ponds north
of Dover skimmed over. No snow any where.
Saw almost no birds. Reached Wolfeboro
at 12.30. Dr. Murkland met me at station
& I went with him to his house, Mackintire
putting up at hotel. After lunch we all
went to Academy & spent afternoon there.
Three new teachers, Miss Moore, Miss Spring
& Miss Murkland. Heard recitations in all
their rooms. Had long talk with Sargent
about botany & saw his collection made last summer.
Mackintire dined with us. We spent long
evening smoking & looking over school [?].
