Boston January 3 (1904)
  Still snowing at day break
& up to 10 A.M. P.M. clear & colder
with high N.W. [northwest] wind. Storm of yesterday one of heaviest
for years. Boston streets piled high with snow. Electric
& steam roads running but somewhat crippled.
  Townsend called to treat my throat for
the last time this morning. He says Hoffmann is 
now in doubt about supposed Ring-billed Gulls seen
at Moon Island.
  I worked on Cambridge Birds through A.M.
and went to Abbottsford at 1.30 lunching & dining
there with Miss Swazy and spending afternoon &
evening with C. [Caroline] who continues to improve. Returned
to Athletic Club at 9 P.M.
