I was mentioned with the
rest of the class for all our
studies. Rose at 4 A.M.
& went up to the Rs'. Got
Joe Russell and went
up to 'the pond' fishing.
I rowed in my boat almost
around 'the pond', Joe
catching two rather small
pickerel. Then he took the oars
& I caught quite a large one.
Got back at 7.30 A.M. Examined
my birds & found them full of grubs
in spite of the sulphur. At about
10 A.M. went over to Stoneham
with E. Dodge taking Jup. First
got a Red Eye's nest, 4 eggs; Ed.

could not find it. Got back
