enjoyed very much - especially Charlotte's bright & original remarks. She is so sweet and so clever & I do like her very much. We had lunch together afterwards & spent the rest of the noon in a good long visit over roast turkey - coffee & accessories. Edith came up to ask me down tomorrow. Jan. 5. Sun. Mama has a bad cold and it stormed & was dark & blizzardy outside till afternoon - when it got very cold. We all staid home this a.m. gathered about the cheerful wood fire - (which we had last night too - when I lazily occupied the davenport & Papa read aloud. After dinner I bundled up & went down to Ned's found Frederica there, but she didn't stay long. Ned & I went upstairs & talked awhile about things. Then Edith came & went down to tea with Harry & Ida. I spent some of the evening - got home about nine. Very cold. Jan. 6. Mon. Thermometer 14° below zero here! 26° or so below in Oswego &c.&c. J.G. is in Albany. Office pretty cold but I accomplish things. Read "A Singular Life" tonight.
