Wea. [Weather] WED. [Wednesday] JAN. 1, 1908 [January 1, 1908] Ther. [Thermometer]
Forenoon cloudy; afternoon clear.
rather cool but not frosty. Light W. [West] wind.
  Took a rather long walk with C. [Caroline Brewster] in
forenoon looking for rooms at the Shorehaven,
Normandie and Stoneleigh Court. Found
nothing suitable to our present needs so we
shall probably stay on at the Gordon.
  I went to Dr. Allen's at 2 P.M. &
spent two hours in his chair. Returning 
wrote letters until 5.30 when C. read to
me for an hour. Nelson called at 8.45
and stayed until 10.
Wea. [Weather] THURSDAY 2 [January 2, 1908] Ther. [Thermometer]
Clear, calm, mild, spring like.
  Spent forenoon in my room writing
letters & working a little on Umbagog
M.S. [Umbagog manuscript] To Dr. Allen's at 1.30 spending
nearly an hour there. While in his
chair I saw a Buzzard soaring over
the city at a great height. This is
literally the first native bird I have
noted since I came here three weeks ago.
  C., Henry & I went to Belasco Theatre
this evening to see John Drew in a "House
with a thousand candles". It was very poor.
