Another passage in the Journal of March, 1864, is in a different note: Maggie ill and company to dinner. I washed breakfast things, cleared the table, walked, read Spinoza a little, then had to fly round, as my dinner was an early one. Picked a grouse, and saw to various matters. Company came, a little early. The room was cold. Hedge, Palfrey, and Alger to dinner. Conversation pleasant, but dinner late, and not well served. Palfrey and Hedge read Parker's Latin epitaph on Chev, amazed at the bad Latinity. In June, 1864, a Russian squadron, sent to show Russia's good — will toward the United States, dropped anchor in Boston Harbor, and hospitable Boston rose up in haste to receive the strangers.

September 23. To church in Newport. A suggestive sermon from Mr. Alger on Watching, i.e., upon all the agencies that watch us, children, foes, friends, critics, authorities, spirits, God himpass our lives in a sense of this divine supervision.
