  I felt so wretchedly when I arose
this morning that after a short

back to bed & slept until noon.
As we were taking dinner two
canoes ran in to the landing. My visitors
were Miss Bush of Concord, Miss Lois
Howe of Cambridge, a Miss Edwards & a Mr. Smith.
I took them to Davis's Hill & back over
Pine Ridge. Later photographed the
nest of Nashville Warbler found by C. yesterday.
