  Like that of yesterday with raw N.E. [northeast] wind
& steady downpour of fine rain.
  Having a troublesome cough I spent
the entire day in the house with C. [Caroline]
who read to me from The "Virginian"
at intervals. It is a rather good story
by Owen Wister. Lizzy, Mr. Leverett, 
& Henry Purdie at Thanksgiving dinner
with us at 7 P.M. staying until 9 P.M.
Wea. [Weather] Friday 28 [November 28, 1902] Ther. [Thermometer]
  Clear with brisk, cool N.W. [northwest] wind.
  The thermometer has not fallen below
30º thus far this autumn & our
Cambridge lawns are still nearly as
fresh and green as they are in September.
There are but few birds about. A
Blue Jay visits the Garden daily &
Chickadees & Kinglets every few
days. Gulls fly over head every morning.
Spent day in Museum culling over
my collection of photographs with Gilbert.
Walked to Mt. Auburn along after
dinner.

  Spent most of day in Museum culling
over my collection of photographs with Gilbert.
Walked to Elmwood with C. [Caroline] after breakfast
returning along the river. Heard a Flicker
on the Coolidge farm.
  John Lawrence brought down 1½ cords
of my Concord wood.
  Bessy & Louisa Allen & Mr. Leverett dined
with us at 6 P.M. We all went to the
Dramatic Club together. Play very poor.

C. [Caroline] & I walked to Fresh Pond at 9 A.M.
64 Black Ducks, 2 Redheads, about 700 Gulls
& a Brunnich's Murre in the pond. Walter
a little earlier counted upwards of 2400 Gulls
& saw a gray Loon which I missed.
  The Murre is the first ever reported for this
pond. I watched it 20 minutes & identified
it absolutely. Walter saw it & the Loon
again in the late afternoon.
  Walter & Margie dined with us. C. [Caroline] went
to Boston & I wrote letters in P.M.
