This includes swimming, smoking, visiting the surrounding area (including a nickel mine), and spending time with El. On September 30, 1905, Healey travels through the White Mountains back to his house in Dorchester, noting the foliage was best on Monadnock. Once back in Dorchester, he writes of his experience in school and what he does in his spare time, which includes smoking, visiting friends, and playing golf.
