Monday, Mar 24, 1890 It was quite windy this morning the mercury being at 20 long after the sun was up but it rapidly grew milder. I went down town. Girard lunched with us and told me he thought Isaac [Winer?] would buy the lot on Chester St. next to Emmet. He has been to see it and thinks he will take it in a short time as he is not quite ready to pay for it just yet. Mary and the baby (Jansen) came over for a while yesterday and said a great many people had been up on the hill. These spring like days show them how pleasant it will be up here. I had Rommel come up and fix a piece of hose so that we can let the water from the barn by [d?] when the water is not clear. I came away by the 4.05 train. There seemed a feeling of spring in the air. I felt a little melancholy and toward twilight I fancied I heard the piping of the newts (which I really did not) and all the homesick longings which they call up took possession of me. I went to the Century and had some supper but there was no one there I cared to talk to. I often regret that I am not better able to join in the conversation about me. I came to my room feeling lonely and that I occupied a very small place in the world. I found a note from Mrs. Botta about the life of [C?] and a letter from Boston for Sara to my care, which I enclosed to her with a short note.
