Meeting Academy Trustees. Fine.
  Clear, calm, warm. A delightful
day, like mid April.
  Worked on my Black Duck article
for an hour or two after breakfast &
started for Boston at 11.30. Found my
cousin Charley Noyes in our office & took 
him to lunch at Bunch o' Grapes.
Returning at 1 I found all our Trustees
of the Academy assembled but two &
these came a few minutes later. We
met to discuss & act upon the Bassett
appointment to which we finally voted
unanimously to take an appeal. The
meeting lasted about an hour. I said
among other things that I did not think
Bassett a desirable person for Trustee.
Went over the list of our mortgages with
Mackintire after the meeting. Got
home at 4.30. There crocuses in full
bloom front of house. E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] went to
Springfield. C. [Caroline Brewster] read aloud to me this evening.

Fine
Clear, calm, warm; another typical
spring day.
  C. [Caroline Brewster] & I went to St. Johns at 10.30.
Dr. Hodges gave us an admirable sermon.
C. stayed for communion. I returned
alone about noon and wrote letters in
Museum until Purdie [Henry A. Purdie] arrived at 1.20.
He with the Misses Roges, Mrs. Wyman
Miss Jennie Chapman, dined with us.
After the others had departed Purdie &
I adjourned to the Museum for a smoke
talk which lasted until 6. After he had
gone I wrote more letters. C. read
Mrs. Gaskell's book to me from 7.30 to
8.30 when I went to the Almys &
had a talk with Almy about the
Trustee appointment & mortgages. Home at 11.
