Our dear brother Charles
passed from Earth this morning
at 2.o'clock. Willie came over
and took me over to "Riverside"
& brought me back before lunch.
He took lunch with us before going
back to "Fairfield." I wrote a postal
card to Frederic Tyson by the 2
o'clock mail; we also wrote to
Jimmy Jackson to Charley &
others. This has been a beautiful
day (overhead) but very
sloppy & muddy underfoot,
the snow has melted & almost
disappeared in most places
after supper Edwd went over
next door to play chess with
Miss Mary Fowler.

home for Willie's "turn out," it having
