for the better and as at Sherwood the principal [winghouse?]
so far, has consisted in a few kicked ankles &bruised
eyes, and as the boys express it "busted out" trousers.

In consideration of holiday times & some other
causes the early Jan. Meeting was omitted & we
adjourned to meet at Plainfield after two
months.
