Sunday, September 20, 1868.
  Cloudy & rained most
of the day. Ther. about
56[degrees] - 65[degrees] - 60[degrees].
Rose as usual and
shaved. Attended
church in A.M.
Wrote a letter to C. Carter
in the evening, and
to Dan in the afternoon.
The woods and gardens
are literally alive with
Autumnal Warblers and
there seems to be a
continual stream passing
over during the whole
night as it is impossible
to be out in the open air
ten minutes without hearing
them. Most of the peaches
except the latest varieties
have gone. The grass is
very green and only the
maples in the swamps have
turned as yet.
Monday, September 21, 1868.
  Clear and a most lovely
day. Ther. about
50[degrees] - 56[degrees] - 50[degrees].
Rose as usual. Walked
down to school with E.
Dodge & Theo. Studied
at the R's immediately
after getting back.
After dinner went up
to the swamp with
Henshaw and met
R. Deane there. Then
went over to the railroad
and shot three Robins.
H. shot four. Fired
once at a Night Heron.
Got back at 7.30 P.M.
After supper cleaned
both of my double guns.
Saw numbers of Snipes
& a Solitary Sandpiper,

a petition around this evening
for having Saturdays
again.
