“Philharmonic rehearsal 2 ½ p.m. With us were Rosalie [Ruggles], Jem [Ruggles], & little Wetmore—also the two epaulets of last Sunday evening. They seemed to enjoy the music intelligently. Overture to Lenore no. 2 hit me quite hard this time, though it is a little scrappy. Directors’ meeting thereafter.”
