bath room is nearly finished & will be wholly so by
to-morrow night. I spent most of day in house
but went twice to the woods. In Barrett Run found
2 Wh. br. Nuthatches [white-breasted nuthatches], a Certhia, 2 Golden crests [golden-crested kinglets] &
a Creeper. A similar but different flock in Pulpit 
Rock woods. Started a Partridge behind barn &
4 others together near the Barrett spring. Saw 4
Lesser Redpolls. Bought of Henry Lawrence (50 [cents]) a
fine adult [female] Goshawk said he shot near his barn
last Saturday. Took 5.07 Fitchburg train home.

hour talking with Mr. Dimick & Mr. Leard
about a mine in British Columbia. Decided 
to take a share in it with Mr. Leverett
who agreed to join us, yesterday.
