Whereupon I leaped into the arena and said my say. She had been for some time toiling over a paper on the Noble Women of the Civil War, finding it hard and fatiguing work. On April 5 she writes:-- At 12 M. I had finished my screed on the Noble Women of the Civil War which has been my nightmare ever since March 24, when I began it, almost despairing of getting it done....

My entrance was greeted with applause, and I was led to the high seats, where were two aides of the Governor, Dewey and White, the latter of whom remembers Governor Andrew. The opening march was very good. I was taken in to supper, as were the two officers just mentioned. We had a cozy little talk. I came away at about 10.30. April 14.

He talked also about Greeks and Hebrews, the animosity of race which kept them apart until the flourishing of the Alexandrian school, when the Jews greedily absorbed the philosophy of the Greeks. This was Mr. S. H. Butcher, the well-known Greek scholar. She enjoyed his visit greatly, and they talked high and disposedly of things classical and modern. May 28. My meeting of Women

A day of anguish for me. I was about to start for Winchendon when my dearest Maud so earnestly besought me not to go, the weather being very threatening, that I could not deny her. Words can hardly say how I suffered in giving up the trip and disappointing so many people. ... As I lay taking my afternoon rest, my heart said to God, You cannot help me in this; but He did help me, for I was able soon after this to interest myself in things at hand. I heard Mabilleau'
