Feb. 26. Friday
Up to find a snowstorm - "Parrot" & toast for
breakfast - and Charlotte - taking a
beaten-up egg (her only breakfast) the last minute - almost while

Valentine. Gymnasium tonight & only 4 there (and 1
visitor) Ned talked "Billy" and "Kirkpatrick"
till I was ill then walked part way home with me.

Cold & shiney. Claude got a nice
letter from
Con Hillman - from
Lousiana, saying he'll be here about the 10th -

personal insult having come from there herself - and left the room -
"Behold how large a matter a little fire Kindleth"! This somehow
reminds me that Martha (at the
office told me she met "Leftenant" (Shan's
