(Hartford) Up at 7. Baby hungry. Gave Ally her new and large doll. She much delighted. Downtown, after call at Father's. Called on G. W. Williams. Told him he need not hold the rear of his lot for me. Called at bank, at Boardman's, at office of "Post" - where I wrote Haven & Jewell. After dinner took nap. Wrote letters. Mr. Hurd came in evening to talk over Institute programme. Nelly Camp came again. Baby very restless, but brightened up at 9.30. Retired with Johnny at 11. Had talk with Sophy about assisting mama.
