Concord - Cambridge - Boston.
Wea. [Weather] Sun. [Sunday] July 22, 1906 Ther. [Thermometer]
Clear & intensely hot with light W. [West] wind.
  Forbush & I spent forenoon tinkering
locks, catches etc. on the cabin doors.
  In P. M. walked to Holden's Hill.
  It was so insufferably hot & close
in the woods I was glad to return
to the cabin where I had a nap.
  Paddled up river after supper to watch
the Blackbirds come to roost in the reeds
about the Lagoon. Saw about 500 all
apparently Red-wings. 40 or 50 Barn Swallows
passed & repassed but did not settle. A
Green Heron seen & a Night Heron heard.
  3 Va. Rails [Virginia Rails] called. Red-wings, Swamp & Song
Sparrows, Robins & a Whippoorwill singing.

Wea. [Weather] Monday 23 [July 23, 1906] Ther. [Thermometer]
  Cloudy with rather frequent
showers. Very humid & "sticky".
  To Boston by 8.13 train
Went to office & talked with Arthur
& Leander about investing trust funds
in Mass. bond. Leander & I consulted
Solomon Lincoln again about it. He
still advises it but says nothing can 
give us a legal right to do it. The 
written consent of all the beneficiaries
would establish a moral right. 
  Came out at noon. Dined with
C. [Caroline] on back piazza. Spent P.M. [?]
Mr. Leverett called at 8.15. Ruth
Greenough arrived at 10 P.M. to spend night.

Cambridge - South Yarmouth.
Wea. [Weather] Tues. [Tuesday] July 24, 1906 Ther. [Thermometer]
Cloudy, calm, sultry.
  Spent day in Museum writing letters etc.
C. [Caroline] departed just after breakfast to spend
the night in Dedham with Mrs. Walter Channing
& Ruth Greenough left a little later for West Chop.
  Birds have nearly ceased singing within past few
days. I heard today a Yellow-bill Cuckoo
& a Wood Pewee in full song, a Red-eye & a
Robin singing fully. Nearly all the elms in Cambridge
have been stripped of foliage by the beetles. Our
trees were sprayed early & have escaped all [?].
R.J. Jackson & Sam Henshaw took tea &
spent evening with us.

Wea. [Weather] Wednesday  25 [July 25, 1906] Ther. [Thermometer]
Clear with fresh cool N.W. [northwest] wind.
(Cloudy with N.E. [northeast] wind at South Yarmouth)
  Spent A.M. in Museum writing letters etc.
Took 4.08 P.M. for South Yarmouth
where I am to spend a couple
of days with Will & Alice Stone.
Reached their house about 7 P.M.
The Cape country is greener than I 
ever seen it before at this season
owing to the unusual rainfall.
The "bouncing bets" about the house
in full bloom & very beautiful.
