It snow'd, the greatest part of the day; but gently, and without wind. Miss Jones,
this forenoon, quite suddenly, resolved to go to Boston and went in the midst of the
Snow. She proposes passing a fortnight there, and as our vacation is to close, next
Wednesday, I shall probably not have an opportunity of seeing her frequently again.
I went to tea to Mr. Pearson's, and in the evening accompanied his viol with my flute.
Mr. Fayerweather
1 and his family were there. An extraordinary character. The greatest range of his
ideas, is between the counter of a shop, and the potatoe-hill behind his House; these
furnish him with an universal topic of conversation, which he commonly enjoys alone,
for he gives no other person time to express either approbation or dislike of his
sentiments.
