Fine
Brilliantly clear. Cool N.W. [Northwest] wind in

Were I to guess at the date from the

put it not earlier than April 25. Never
have I seen vegetation before
advanced at this season. The grass is
vivid green, maples and elms dense with
blossoms, bloodroot, hepatica, claytonia,
in bloom & a few Forsythia blossoms
out, gooseberries dense with young foliage.
