  Cloudy most of day with 
strong, piercingly chilly N.E. [northeast] wind.

  Wea. [Weather] Sunday 6 [April 6, 1902] Ther. [Thermometer]
  Partly cloudy. Clear & warm
at noon. Cool at evening.
  In A.M. marked a lot of 
larches that are to be moved.
Rambled about in woods all
P.M. at no time getting further
away than Davis's Hill. In
fact spent most of the day on
Pine Ridge in Pine Park.
J.W. Long called. Also Ned
Nealey who took away my
folding canvas boat to try. 

  Wea. [Weather] Mon. [Monday] April 7, 1902 Ther. [Thermometer]
  Cloudy with harsh E. [east] wind.
  Spent entire day near Ball's Hill,
working with Hansen, Bensen & Pat.
In A.M. we moved a number of 
large larch trees in the opening just
north of the swamp. In P.M.
we finished this task & moved a 
very large hemlock on Hemlock Knoll.
The day was extremely gloomy &
birds of all kinds were silent &
retiring. It seemed indeed more like
a November than an April day.

  Wea. [Weather] Tuesday 8 [April 8, 1902] Ther. [Thermometer]
  Cloudy with strong, cold N.E. [northeast]
wind and heavy rain beginning at 3 P.M.
& lasting into the night.
  Spent most of the day digging pines
with Hansen, Bensen & Pat - in A.M.
in the opening between Pine & Davis's Hills,
in P.M. (until the rain stopped us) in
Birch Field. Got about 1100 small white
pines for Almy's place at Cotuit & about
60 pitch pines for Chadbourne. The day
was excessively raw & gloomy & the
country seemed barren of all animal life.
