    February 5 Thursday – Sam wrote from South Bend, Indiana to Livy:

    Livy dear, we are grinding out the days pretty fast, now that we are at last fairly into the last month & unquestionably on the homestretch. Major Pond [James] is with us, now. He wanted to send his brother Edward, but we needed an expert, not a novice.

    He also told of the Jan. 31 argument with Cable over traveling on Sunday (see Jan. 31 entry).
