(Hartford) Up at 8.10. Cool morning. Looked over items for Tyler for the Independent. Worked on revision of sermon nearly all day and evening. Capt. Chamberlain called for me to go to Asylum with his friends. Went out with them. Asylum closed. Downtown before tea. Baby much better. Called at Father's in evening. Wrote briefly to Fred. Took bath. Retired at 12.15. Sent six S.S. letters.
