Clear & warm with light southerly

Wrote to C. [Caroline] yesterday to say that

her letter arrived. So I shall await it
& remain here over Sunday. Having
begun preparations for departure my
work had been laid aside. I did
not resume it to-day but spent

people on piazza & with Dan
in studio where I "posed" awhile
for his figure of Myles Standish in
Longfellow Memorial group.
  Only four people came to aft. [afternoon] tea.
