  Took the morning train for Portland
with Dr. Gehring. It was half an hour
late at Bethel & did not reach Portland
until 12.20. I went directly to the
Congress Square Hotel where I met C. [Caroline]
who had come from Boston.
  We went out in the afternoon & I
photographed a fine old house at the
corner of High & Spring Sts. where Sally D.
used to visit. Also did some shopping.
  Read "Sonny" in the evening.

We lunched together at the Union Station
& she left for Boston at 12.45.
I started for Bethel at 1.30 meeting
the Doctor at the Junction. We reached
Bethel at about 5 P.M.
  Saw 6 Crows yesterday at North Yarmouth
& others both yesterday & to-day between
there & Portland. The fields are bare of

  Clear but with a strong, piercing

  Spent most of the day in doors
writing. Heard a Blue Jay screaming
in the orchard in the forenoon.
In late P.M. (3.30 - 4.35) walked
up the wood road [?] to Balsam
Knoll. It has been stripped of the
[?] there by the wood choppers.
It was a bitterly cold walk; in fact
I had to run at times to keep warm.

  Brilliantly clear with strong N.W. [Northwest]

  Spent A.M. writing. At 3 P.M. the

the river. The wood cutters have piled
immense quantities of fir logs there to be
sent down in Spring to the pulp mills.
Exposed only one plate. No birds to-day.
