my walk 42 mile without difficulty.
Nov. we enlarged the Bird club,
by the addition of four own members
field officers &c. I gave the name of the

remained in C. till Jan. when he
left for Washington. Dec. 23 we (No. 29)

passed a pleasant day with G.J.W.
Dec. 25 we had a pigeon shoot (unclear
conditions, tame birds &c.) at Watertown.
