Called at Dean’s & next door and trudged home in the snow wh was deep all the way. Had the dogs “Bessie” & “Chloe” with me. Called at Mrs Pynes to tell of Arthur’s engagement. Found Lady Lou. Pon. at tea in Bee’s room with the M. Heard by this post that Charlie Eliot had got an ADCship to Genl Lindsay. Wrote letters to Arthur & Adeline. | |
