Snowed in the morning, but cleared up at about 10 o’clock. Richard went to work. Received a letter from Hartford & Tax bill from Springfield for last year. Wrote & mailed a letter to the U.S. Civil Service Commission, Washington. We expected Mama here to day, but in vain, the weather must have kept her back. Martha went out for a little walk and went afterward to the Library to exchange books, called in the shop and then went with Mrs Charles Smith again to the auction and again received a small Teaspoon as present. She only got back from her stroll a few minutes off 6 o’clock so we had supper late. Spent evening with writing & reading and sat up rather late. Ate “grune Klose” and boiled Ham for diner.
