[Boston—Thursday, 30 November 1865]
Thursday. Morning heard Jamie read Willson’s new poems. He read “Horsa,” tempus memorabile!
Went down town to Grocer’s and elsewhere on business.
Mrs Starr King & the Whipples, Algers & Mr Bartol, to tea.
In spite of these interruptions—& pleasure they are too—have found a little time for Dante but not much else.
