[Several missing pages in the diary. Next entry 14 January 1864.] [1]


[1]    It is surmised that Goodrich changed his boarding place during the period of time bounded by these missing pages. From circumstantial evidence, it appears that he may have started boarding in the house known as Rosewood owned by Mrs. Matilda Frances Fulton, mentioned previously, from whom he already rented a room for his school. The Margood (or Marguth) and Bridges families, related to each other by marriage, appear to have been boarding in the same house.
