1904 [January 1, 1904]
  Clear & warmer with light W. wind
melting off sidewalks where exposed to sun.
  Dr. Townsend called about 9 A.M. He 
pronounced my throat better & advised my going out
which I did about noon walking over to the Abbotsford
and lunching there with E.R.S. at 1 P.M. Saw C.
for about half-an-hour. She seems decidedly better
& in better spirits but still has much pain.
  Returned to Athletic Club at 2 P.M. & spent
rest of day & a long evening reading. Tried to 
work a little on Cambridge Birds but could
make no progress & gave it up in disgust.
