I didn't get out to church at all, & Ellery not up early either, was at home most of A.M. also through the eve. I had faint spell just before breakfast after which found blister on toe, (cant imagine how it came there) so couldn't wear shoes December 15 Beautiful day, & after snow falling in night (little) much colder Mer 3°- at sun-rise only 2°+ at noon, tho' rising to 6°+ later.
