Cambridge - Boston. July 12 1904
  Clear & very warm with light S.W. [southwest] wind.
To Boston at 10 a.m. Spent about two hours  
at Pope Man. [Pope Manufacturing Company] place where I bought an automobile
for $1150.00. Thence to office where I saw Estabrook
& Mackintire. Then back to Pope's where I took a
trip through the parks & around Jamaica Pond in
an old electric which I ran most of the way. 
The parks are very beautiful now. Returned to
Athletic Club where I read for an hour. Back 
to Cambridge at 6 P.M.
