Very wet rainy dismal dark day. Arose 6:30 A.M. Helped shuck elderberries. Read paper. Played piano. Looked at Garnet. Studied Chemistry etc. Wrote letter etc in evening. Took walk to P.O. & around. Took bath. Shaved etc. To bed 11 P.M.

The Garnet, as I've noted before, I think, is the Union College yearbook.

I wasn't sure what the procedure for shucking elderberries was, so I looked it up. It looks pretty tedious--they are some small berries! Here is a website that talks about all the things the writer does to get them off of their stems: Cleaning Elderberries. But this YouTube video makes it look a little easier:
Shucking Elderberries.
