Far walk with F— this P.M. A windy sunshiney weather after a rainy night — we have become congenial companions — I felt that I saw nature with an innocent eye today — The cold wind blew up the odor of clover from sunlit meadows —
When I communicated to F— my desire to make my home in a wild uncivilized place he heartily seconded my thought. So I do not feel queer that I dream of that northwest forest I am going to search for.
