Bethel, Me. [Maine] February 21 1904
Ther. [Thermometer] 0� = min [minimum] 37� = max. [maximum].
  Brilliantly clear with little or no wind
in A.M., a light S.W. [south west] breeze in P.M.
  George V. Leverett came through from Boston yesterday
to spend to-day with me. He appeared at the house
(from the hotel where he is staying) at 9.30. We started off
together on snow shoes about 10 A.M. in company with Dr. G. [Gehring]
& were out fully 2 hours tramping through the Doctor's woods
and the Glen woods. Although the morning was simply perfect
there seemed to be almost no birds about. Indeed we met 
with only a Chickadee and 3[in a flock] Redpolls.
  Mr. Leverett & I went out again at 3.45 P.M.
walking up the wood road about 3/4 of a mile. Saw
a flock of 8 Red-polls & a Hairy Woodpecker, the latter in an
elm on the village street opposite Miss True's house.
