Thursday December 10th 1914. Partly cloudy with light E wind - 5° This day commenced for me at 9.30 last night when I got up and had breakfast The moon was just coming up from the ice caps and made it clear as its morning were just come x I studied until nearly four o'clock when Eh and Hal arrived x This was Eb's first visit and he made it an event by bringing along a tiny behind team, a bottle of pickles and a can of fruit. Of course we opened things up and had a lunch followed by quite a talk, nihilistic to be sure, but entertaining. I went in with our visitors x At the house I washed up and collected a few books some cream & wheat etc. Of course a horde of dogs followed me out. I rather like to have them around but they must get pretty hungry out here as we very rarely have any scraps. I had my dinner when Jerome got up and had his breakfast x Jerome went in to Etah while I went on with my reading/studying. About this time last year Eh and I started on our trip across to Cape Sabine x Tank came out with Jerome the evening. She latter had his beard off and I scarcely recognized him x She brought some pictures of our Thanksgiving dinner which were very good x
