Concord
Wea. [Weather] FRI. [Friday] MAY 3, 1901 Ther [Thermometer]
  Brilliantly clear with high, cold
N.W. [Northwest] wind.
  Spent day at farm walking both
ways. The harsh wind delivered
the birds & drove them to cover
so that I saw & heard but few.
Opened a short cart road through
the woods immediately behind
the barn. The Mason began the
wall of the new barn cellar.

We dined at the cabin and
walked through to the farm where
we had Dando harnessed and
drove to Lincoln to see an old
house made over by a Mr. Wright.
C. [Caroline] took the 5.35 train back for
Lancaster & I returned to the cabin
where I found Purdie who spent 
the night.
