18 [degrees] Fine
Clear & cold with light westerly
wind. Ground hard frozen. River open.
  In Garden: A Jay & several Sparrows.
Met H.E. Sargent in our Boston
office at 10.40, by appointment.
We had a satisfactory talk about the 
school. He had come down to look
for a teacher to replace Miss Eaton.
Two candidates appeared about 11.
One German born (in Berlin) but now
an American citizen impressed us
both very favorably & Sargent finally
engaged him to teach English & German.
Much as I am now prejudiced against
all Germans I liked this one and believe
he will turn out well.
Answered a letter from Tax Collector 
making enquiry about my 1914 income
tax. Lunched at Marstons. Left
office for home at 3.30. Stopped at
Steinerts to return a record & took
out several more which we played
this evening. Only one (a Culp) proved good.

Stormy
Snowing fast at 8 A.M. when about
an inch had fallen. It turned to
rain soon after this, freezing as
it struck and making very
slippery walking. But as the day
wore on never-ceasing rain and
somewhat higher combined
to banish ice as well as snow.
  In Garden: a Blue Jay screaming.
  Worked all day on Log Cock
story composing rather more
than a page of fresh matter.
Little Tim close by me on the
couch all the forenoon, keeping
as still as a mouse. He rarely
does anything to distrust me
during my customary working
hours but seems to know almost
to the minute when they should
end and after that will give
me no peace until I start with him
for the house. We had a little
Victrola music this evening.
