[Things easily forgotten]

Cambridge - Boston
Wea. [Weather] Mon. [Monday] Jan. 1, 1906 [January 1, 1906] Ther. [Thermometer]  
  Clear and somewhat cooler but yet
mild for a winter day. A little
snow fell last night & the trees were
beautifully powdered with it in the
early morning but it was nearly all
gone by noon.
  Spent day in Museum working
on M.S. [manuscript] of Cambridge Birds.
  Nuttall meeting this evening - ten members 
present. I read extracts from the
Introduction to Cambridge Birds.
They were rather coldly received, I thought.

Wea. [Weather] Tuesday 2 [January 2, 1906] Ther. [Thermometer]
20 [degrees] min [minimum]
  Clear and decidedly colder.
  To Boston at 9 A.M. Stopped by the
way at Charlesbank where I called
on Dr. A.H. Tuttle & saw his collection
of mounted birds. Among them are
an Ipswich Sparrow & a Sparrow Hawk 
which he has shot recently near his
hospital on the Charlesbank marsh lands.
  Reaching Boston at 11 I spent about
two hours in Estate work collecting
interest on Hospital Life notes etc.
  To Museum Comp. Zoology [Museum of Comparative Zoology] at 2.30.
Picked out some birds for an exchange.
