"Pleasant winter days so far this month. Average winter weather with little precipitation. The Tuscarawas has not had enough to rile or rise it for many many months.
'Hard times' is the chief talk now and has been for three or more months. My work and pay is just the same so we consider ourselves fortunate.
Rowdy, Ritz and I went for a walk in the paper mill bottoms this morning. The frost on the willows was a pretty subject for an artist's brush. Beautiful, soft colors of grays shaded delicately with tints of red and blue.
I am reading Midsummer Night's Dream. Superb it is - and I have never found Shakespeare otherwise."
