  Went to the Unitarian Church with

  C.[Caroline] & I left Lancaster by 7.30 A.M.
train. She is to spend the week at
the Thayer's in Cambridge, I at the
cabin at Ball's Hill. On reaching 
Concord I drove about town to do
some errands & then went to the farm
where Hansen was haying. After spending
half-an-hour there I reached the cabin
at 10 A.M. Wrote until dinner & for
a couple of hours afterwards. Walked to
Holden's Hill at eve. [evening]. Mosquitos very savage.
Wea. [Weather] Tuesday 9 [July 9, 1901] Ther. [Thermometer]
  Cloudy night with N.E. [northeast] wind and heavy
rain in A.M.
  Immediately after breakfast
I started out with Karl to
cut some pines for a new gate.
We crossed the swamp and
found the trees we needed on 
Pine Ridge, but before we had cut
them all it began to rain so
heavily that we returned. I wrote
all the forenoon. In P.M. trimmed
the oaks about the cabin. At evening
walked to Holden's Hill.
