some pine woods beyond the school house.

for her. Walter & I took the mountain road

 Thorndike Pond. I took 3 6 1/2 x 8 1/2

In P.M. we drove past Gilmore Pond
& visited a Mr. Baker who lives in
a pretty & very old house at the
end of a grassy lane. I took a few
photographs there. There were lots of 
birds about the house Bluebirds, Goldfinches,
Cedar birds etc. A fine sunset as we were returning.

  Spent A.M. writing. At noon
Walter, E[lizabeth] R. S[immons] & I drove over 
to the Emmersons where we
dined & spent the afternoon
meeting, in addition to the family,
Dr. Auger & Mrs. Bliss. The 
former knows Dutcher well.
The ride in one of Shattuck's
wagons used me up badly.
