Fine.
Clear & cool with light variable winds.
  To Boston via Porter's & Fitchburg R.R.
at 9.45 A.M. to attend meeting
Committee on Education at our office.
Judge Bell & Prof. Lord [Edwin H. Lord] joined
me there at 10.30. We talked
until noon, discussing plans for 
improving the Academy. Arthur
with us the first half hour.
I had written my cousin Elisabeth
cabling her to lunch with me in Boston
at 12.30 but she did not appear & I
lunched alone at Bunch O'Grapes.
When I got back to our house at
3 I learned that she had gone
there by some mistake. I
wrote a page of M.S. & then it was
time for supper with C.[Caroline] on piazza.
We went all over the place after dark
listening to Tree Crickets. We could [?]
but 5 in all although there seemed to
be hundreds of them.
