Tuesday, July 23, 1867.
  Clear and a beautiful day
but very warm. Ther. 
about 60º—80º—70º.
Rose at 3 A.M. went up & got
Charlie & we went over to
the marshes on Charles river
getting there as it was getting
light. Fired fourteen times
& shot 3 spotted & 4 least
sandpipers. C. Carter shot one
spotted & 1 least sandp[iper]. Got
home at 8.30 A.M. Got some
breakfast, plucked the peeps,
& stuffed both the Vir[ginia] rails shot
yesterday. Slept from 4 P.M.
to nearly 7 P.M. Father then carried
me up to Belmont & I got the
m[ea]d[ow] lark's found yesterday.
Went up to see C. Carter after
supper.

Wednesday, July 24, 1867.
  Clear but uncomfortably
warm. Good breeze most
of the day. Ther. about
75º—88º—76º. Rose
only in time for breakfast.
My poison probably
reached its height by
evening. In A.M. blew
three of the m[ea]d[ow] larks eggs
found Monday and
studied about two hours.
Also copied a part of my
eggs from my diary.
Slept from 4 P.M. to 5.45
P.M. Then took a ride
with father up to Mt Auburn
& up & down by the river.
Spent most of the evening
enjoying the cool breeze in
front of the house.
