Concord, July 24
1904
Cloudy with light N.E. [northeast] wind. Heavy showers in
late P.M.
  In forenoon walked to the Hodgmans place to 
investigate some ferns which Mrs. Hodgman had told 
me were growing on a ledge in their pasture. Found
them to be Woodsia obtusa the first I have ever seen 
living. There were not many & I took only three, one
of which I planted on Pulpit Rock. The other two I shall
take to Cambridge. Asplenium ebeneum also growing on this ledge.
Heard 3 Quail whistling bob-white in the neighboring fields
Spent P.M. working in the flower garden. Walked to
Ritchie place at evening.
