Diary Entry of January 13, 1876
Overview
The day was full of ordinary work and family activity: time with Boni, dictation, and then skating with the children. Later there was more work with Boni and the little ones before evening reading with R. from Gibbon on Mohammed. The tone is busy and domestic rather than strained.
