Papa went out with Mr Wheller and the two Mr Herlberts to call. Mama did not go to the parlor to stay but only went down when some one came to see her. They had a refreshment table, and had salad and oysters and Biscuits and coffe and chocolate and fruit and lots of other things. Gen Sweet died this morning at six oclock, of Pneumonia, and Miss Ada (supposing him to be alive) came on this evening but finding that he was dead went right back to Chicago, to comfort her mother. This evening I am writing up here in our room. I can't help of thinking of poor Miss Ada.

Then we went and had a short walk, and then we met the children and papa asked them where he could get a canary for me, and then we went to find one but did not succeed. Then we went home much refreshed by our walk.

And I stoped in the parlor and did an errand for Charley who was taking up the carpet and then I came back & was looking out of the windows (in the parlor) when a boy came up the steps with a telagram and I went to the door and found it was for us and was just going to tear it open but Nickalous said no no or rather would not let me. Then I hurried him up stairs and then the performance began. After they I mean papa and mama had kissed they cried and did everything else.

[[preprinted]] VALUES IN UNITED STATES MONEY OF THE PURE GOLD OR SILVER REPRESENTING RESPECTIVELY THE MONETARY UNITS AND STANDARD COINS OF FOREIGN COUNTRIES. [[line]] The first section of the Act of March 3, 1873 provides "that the value of Foreign Coin, as expressed in the money of account of the United States, shall be that of the pure metal of such coin of standard value," and that "the values of the standard coins in circulation of the various nations of the world shall be estimated annually by the Director of the Mint, and be proclaimed on the first day of January by the Secretary of the Treasury." The estimates of values contained in the following table are those made by the Director of the Mint, January 1st, 1885, in compliance with the above stated provisions of law.

[[line]] The following compilation of business law contains the essence of a large amount of legal verbiage: If a note is lost or stolen, it does not release the maker; he must pay it, if the consideration for which it was given and the amount can be proven. Notes bear interest only when so stated. Principals are responsible for the acts of their agents. Each individual in a partnership is responsible for the whole amount of the debts of the firm, except in cases of special partnership. Ignorance of the law excuses no one. [[strikethrough]] [[?]] [[/strikethrough]] ^[[checkmark]] The law compels no one to do impossibilities. ^[[checkmark]] An agreement without consideration is void. A note made on Sunday is void. Contracts made on Sunday cannot be enforced. A note by a minor is void. A contract made with a minor is void. A contract made with a lunatic is void. A note obtained by fraud, or from a person in a state of intoxication, cannot be collected. It is a fraud to conceal a fraud. Signatures made with a lead pencil are good in law. ^[[checkmark]] A receipt for money is not always conclusive. ^[[checkmark]] The acts of one partner bind all the rest. "Value received," is usually written in a note, and should be, but is not necessary. If not written it is presumed by the law, or may be supplied by proof. The maker of an "accommodation" bill or note (one for which he has received no consideration, having lent his name or credit for the accommodation of the holder) is not bound to the person accommodated, but is bound to all other parties, precisely as if there was a good consideration. No consideration is sufficient in law if it be illegal in its nature. Checks or drafts must be presented for payment without unreasonable delay. Checks or drafts should be presented during business hours, but in this country, except in the case of banks, the time extends through the day and evening. If the drawee of a check or draft has changed his residence, the holder must use due or reasonable diligence to find him. If one who holds a check as payee or otherwise, transfers it to another, he has a right to insist that the check be presented that day, or, at farthest, on the day following. A note indorsed in blank (the name of the indorser only written) is transferable by delivery, the same as if made payable to bearer. If the time of payment of a note is not inserted, it is held payable on demand. [[/preprinted]]

[[/preprinted]] Bitterly cold. Flo froze her cheeks by driving to the Falls. Very much interested again in people. Eyes are such tell-tale things. Sad memories of happy days called back by the child joy of a glowing xmas tree; deep hope in a heart beat nd break in spite of its manliness if the hope of the dear one's life were not kept in spite of everything. The devotion of which the human heart is capable, the wonderful force of determined will - the mystery of the living man & woman.

Went down to Aunt Helens in the evening and had a cosy visit. She is lonely but will not be sad. Her life is a lesson to the demanding world.

Her life is very desolate, & will be more so when she leaves.

[[left margin]] Last one for Homeword notes [[/left margin]] [[line]] A Woodland Circuit [[line]] [[strikethrough]] A Bird Lover's Circuit in a Wood [[/strikethrough]] [[line]] The great advantage of having pleasant experiences as we pass through this vale of tears is not in their fleeting brightness but in the odor of violets that greets us afterwards when [[strikethrough]] ever [[/strikethrough]] we rehail [[insertion]] ^ them as [[/insertion]] memorious happy isles. Woodlanders who hold a 'Rambler's Lease' for this reason often find their footsteps turning back to the old loved paths [[strikethrough]] [[underlined]] and [[/underlined]] in which they ^[[insertion]] often [[/strikethrough]] stop to [[/insertion]] linger, smiling at [[strikethrough]] each [[/strikethrough]] pleasant pictures from [[strikethrough]] former [[/strikethrough]] happy days.

2/ The northern greenwood I have in mind has an old road threading its beechen aisles, each turn of which is marked as the former home of some small forester friend, [[strikethrough]] beastie or bird. [[/strikethrough]] Just inside the wood a pair of Robins, forsaking the pomps and vanities of the world but still trusting in man, built their nest in a niche in a bole ^[[insertion]] so close [[/insertion]] beside the path you could put out your hand and touch it in passing. [[left margin insertion]] 2 plain realism [[/margin insertion]] A snug protected house the oval knot hole made for them, for the ^[[insertion]] Robins [[/insertion]] clay cup rested in [[strikethrough]] her [[/strikethrough]] its proffered ashen saucer under ^[[insertion]] its [[/insertion]] [[strikethrough]] the [[insertion]] an [[/insertion]] [[/strikethrough]] arched roof and the ^[[insertion]] mother [[/insertion]] bird brooded [[strikethrough]] against [[/strikethrough]] beside the heart of the tree. In this quiet place the nest remained unharmed for many a season and even when it had crumbled away the sight of the [[strikethrough]] knot hole [[/strikethrough]] empty niche

3/ still [[strikethrough]] re [[/strikethrough]] called up the pleasant memory of the trustful pair who chose to make their home beside our path. [[cutmark between this and the rest of the page: portions of two pages pasted together.]] the gray squirrels [[strikethrough]] built their nests [[/strikethrough]] gathered, and the sound of their ^[[insertion]] drawling [[/insertion]] bark [[strikethrough]] ing [[/strikethrough]] was ^[[insertion]] as familiar [[/insertion]] as that of the birds singing in the trees. In their gambols they would often race across our path, [[insertion]] & [[/insertion]] chase[[strikethrough]] g [[/strikethrough] each other ^[[insertion]] in spirals [[/insertion]] up a tree [[strikethrough]] s [[/strikethrough]] & out to the slender tip of a branch & [[strikethrough]] across [[/strikethrough]] by a gt leap [[strikethrough]] a [[/strikethrough]] cross to another tree. Their big nests which looked like crow's nests high in the tree tops

In this edge of the woods, protected & fed, the gray squirrels [[strikethrough]] built their nests [[/strikethrough]] gathered, and the sound of their ^[[insertion]] drawling [[/insertion]] bark [[strikethrough]] ing [[/strikethrough]] was ^[[insertion]] as familiar [[/insertion]] as that of the birds singing in the trees.

8/ were mainly in the edge of the woods where they were protected from farmers,& [[insertion by arrow]] when the leaves were off.

Beyond the Robin homestead is a spot where we can still hear the whirs of the Ruffed Grouse that rose from it one long past day in May. In these woods Partridges were not looked at as ^[[insertion]] sportsman's [[/insertion]] game [[strikethrough]] to be shot and eaten [[/strikethrough]], but as the choicest of the wild spirits of the woods to be attracted and guarded with [[ any device?]] & care; honored guests for whom a feast was [[elganty?]] spread. At the sound of the drumming of the cocks ^[[insertion]]in the wood [[/insertion]] both child & man would stop to listen & ^[[insertion]] in winter [[/insertion]] when the shy birds drew near the house for their food [[strikethrough]] in winter [[/strikethrough]] they were watched behind closed blinds with bated breath. In summer, motherly Partridges [[strikethrough]] with [[/strikethrough]] were sometimes seen with

4/their downy broods strawberrying in the [[strikethrough]] forest [[/strikethough]] meadow bordering the [[strikethrough]] wood [[/strikethrough]] [[insertion]] forest [[/insertion]], but [[strikethrough]] their nests were rarely found [[/strikethrough]] our [[strikethrough]] childhood [[/strikethrough]] search f nests had been in vain. Th[[line]]is day, however,[[strikethrough]] follg [[westig?]] [[/strikethrough]] [[whirring?]]in through the brush to the spot from which the bird had flown - there, at the foot of a bush lay [[underline]] twelve white eggs! [[/underline]] What a ^ [[insertion]] luxurious [[/insertion]] sight! No meagre clutch of three or four - with [[strikethrough]] incredulous eyes [[/strikethrough]] [[insertion above]] marvelling [[strikethrough]] niytes [[/strikethrough]] eyes [[/insertion above]] [[insertion below]] not one fell short [[/insertion below]] they were [[strikethrough]] again [[/strikethrough]] counted over -[[strikethrough]] yes, [[/strikethrough]] ^ twelve [[strikethrough]] [[insertion]] eggs [[/insertion]] and [[/strikethrough]] as big as hens eggs ^ [[insertion For]] [[strikethrough]] they seemed [[/strikethrough]] gauged by those of the small songsters of the branches. All other clutches were ^ [[insertion]] instantly [[/insertion]] dwarfed by the sight. No confining coil held these ^ [[insertion]] choice [[/insertion]] eggs; they seemed a free gift to the wood, laid on Mother Earth's open hand. To show that our entrusion had been with no ungentle thought ^ [[insertion]] & assure [[strikethrough]] the [[/strikethrough]] our guest of her welcome [[/insertion]] we hastened to scatter food about the nest [[insertion]] & left [[/insertion]] [[strikethrough]] leaving [[/strikethrough]] a [[pilatus?]] filled with grain where she would

5/ surely find it as she strolled about. Then, lest passersby disturb her, for the remaining days of her brooding we forebore to cross her path. When wanting to indulge the rare pleasure of seeing her on the nest we crept into the bushes at a distance and watched her silently through the leaves. Poor mother! Did her heart throb as she crouched lower over her nest at the ominous footfalls in the woods? [[strikethrough]] Are [[/strikethrough]] Were her ears trained so she c[[strikethrough]] an [[/strikethrough]] d tell them all apart - not merely as friend or enemy but [[strikethrough]] as a [[/strikethrough]] to distinguish the thrush hopping over the leaves, [[/strikethrough]] a [[/strikethrough]] the squirrel nosing about for fresh eggs, the dog fatally trained, & his master with the gun? She seemed surrounded by dangers, but yet, as she brooded at the foot of the ^[[insertion]]sheltering [[/insertion]] beech [[strikethrough]] s [[/strikethrough]] the [[strikethrough]] seemed [[/strikethrough]] ^[[insertion]] little bird looked [[/insertion]] to be among friends.

6 Her eggs were laid in a [[strikethrough]]peo [[/strikethrough]]hollow between [[strikethrough]] the [[/strikethrough]] protecting roots, the tree [[strikethrough]] lent[[/strikethrough]] cast [[insert]]^over [[/insert]] her the disguise of its gray robe, and the earth with its brown leaves concealed her form. The sun too, slanting through the leaves, did its part in caring for her safety for its light on the [[insert]]^brown [[/insert]] leaves made the white [[strikethrough]] feather markings [[/strikethrough]] touches on her dress appear as dappling light in the dim forest. [[strikethrough]] Prolic [[?]] [[/strikethrough]] Under [[strikethrough]] frolicking [[/strikethrough]] shielding branches /[[strikethrough]] little partridges [[/strikethrough]] downy [[?]] brood broke through their shells, were fed at the[[underline]] foot of [[the?]] [[end page]] [[start page]] 7) off end of the shell was neatly tucked. It is also [[insert]] so [[/insert]] sad to see the last of a little family one has watched +[[strikethrough]] and[[/strikethrough]] it seemed as if the old tree must miss the patient mother who had brooded so long & trustingly at her feet.
