crowded & hot. No place to smoke & no
stop for food but I had a lunch with me.
Reached Pittsfield at 2.45 & took
3.20 train for Stockbridge where Dan. F [Daniel French]
met me at the station. His new house
is practically finished. I found Miss

visiting the family. Dan & I took a walk
in the woods before supper.

rambled through the beautiful pine woods
across the road & visited the Knight

A flock of about 25 Chimney Swifts

  Just after breakfast Dan & I went 
over the Knight farm again. It is a

left me at station. Train 2 hours late.
I walked down the track & all about the
