Wea. [Weather] Mon. [Monday] July 2, 1900 Ther. [Thermometer]
  Brilliantly clear with light W. [west] wind.
Very cool for the season.
  With E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] & Charlotte I started for
Jaffrey by the 8.06 train this morning.
Reached the Shattuck's at 11.30 A.M.
  When we had finished unpacking most
of the afternoon was still left for a walk
in the woods with E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons]. We first
visited pretty camps near the house,
then followed the road to the first brook.
After tea walked about ½ mile along the
road westward.
Wea. [Weather] Tuesday [July] 3, [1900] Ther. [Thermometer]
  Early morning clear& calm. Remainder
of the day cloudy with strong S.E. wind
threatening rain which came in evening.
  Rose early & breakfasted with E.R.S.
at 6.10. She took the 7.01 train back
to Cambridge & I spent the early part
of A.M. photographing. Birds numerous
& singing freely. Noted a long list
of species. Gerald Thayer called at 4 P.M.
Had two severe attacks of nose bleed, one
about noon, the other at 6 P.M. Charlotte sent
for the doctor at Jaffrey. I lost a great
quantity of blood.
Wea. [Weather] Wed. [Wednesday] July 4, 1900 Ther. [Thermometer]
  Clear & warmer with strong W. wind.
  Spent entire day in my room. The
doctor came at 9 A.M. I am
very weak for loss of blood but
otherwise well. Edward Emerson
called in P.M. but I did not feel
equal to seeing him.
  Many birds singing close about the house,
a Hermit Thrush, a Wood Thrush, Oven birds,
Maryland Yellow-throats, an Indigo bird,
Wood Pewee, [?], Phoebe, Red-eyed Vireo etc.
Wea. [Weather] Thursday [July] 5, [1900] Ther. [Thermometer]
  Clear & still warm with light W. [west] wind.
  Spent the day in my room.
The Deanes arrived from Cambridge
this evening. The doctor forbids
both reading & writing & the time
drags slowly. The birds are a compensation.
I hear the Hermits at morning and evening
& through the day the Robin, Red-eye,
Oven bird, Indigo bird, Maryland Yellow-
throat, Song Sparrow etc.
