so I went nearly to Art Quanbury's with him and got a ride back with {Au?} & Mrs. Lambert in a bob sleigh. I was standing in the road while they came up to me watching Quint through the gully and {Au.?} informed me that the "woman" was nervous as she thought I might mean mischief. While we were over home Marj. borrowed "Bleak House" from Dad. as she thinks a review of the case of Jarndyce & Jarndyce & the doings of the Court of Chancery will be encouraging to us just now. Dad. let me have a letter that he got from Mr. Parks to-day asking me to write him and instruct him to appoint a guardian for Harry B. as he will now have to be represented in the proceedings.

In another letter he told Dad that if the fund should go to Harr B which he said "Heaven forbid," His guardian would supply him with ample finds for his eductauon until he became of age and that would hekp out a little bit I sincerely hope tings won;t turn out that way for Harry B's own sake as well as ours as the thought ofhim coming in for an enormous fortine when he was 21 years old with no one else having any legal control over it or him would be an awfulbug-bear to me. However I am not worrying about it yet. Very mild and cloudy all day.
