Concord - Cambridge, August 1 1904
  Clear & intensely hot with thunder shower
at evening.
  Spent A.M. working on the farm. Planted
21 bulbs of Lillium Canadense [Lilium Canadense] in meadow below orchard.
Visited Ritchie place & picked a lot of Japan plums.
Started for Ball's Hill at 2.30. Dug a number
of plants along river path & Barrett meadow.
Crossed river to take 4.24 train. Saw it when I
got to McGrath's crossing & ran hard for the station.
Failed to reach it but train stopped for me on the curve
C. [Caroline] & I called on Sam Henshaw this evening. Heard
the first autumn crickets near his house.
