Sunday, Oct 27, 1889 It rained in the night and has rained all day gently. The earth is soaked and steaming and the trees are bare and forlorn. I sat by a nice wood fire in the parlor and read and wrote. Girard and the children came over and spent a good part of the forenoon and Mary came over with them in the afternoon. Dwight was resplendent in a new suit with six pockets as he observed. I have looked over all the Tribunes which Sara kept for me during my absence and read what I wished to. I have written to Mr. Hubbard the Maine map man, to Alice and to Mary and a note to Calvert accompanying the two deeds I am to send him tomorrow, Dewey's & Norths. It has been a quiet, restful day at home and I have been content and happy.
