Raining heavily all day. Wind N.E. [northeast]
  Writing all day in the smoking
room and the hall of the Gordon.
The conditions are not favorable 
there for composition but I did my
best & produced a couple of pages
of rather dull matter for the introduction
to the Umbagog book. C. [Caroline Brewster] worked with
her type writer on some M.S. [manuscript] that Henry
has given her to copy. We did not either 
of us go out & no one came to see us.

  Mr. & Mrs. J.C. Melvin arrived from
Boston at 9.45. I went to station to
meet them but missed them there. Found
them later at New Willard & brought them
to Gordon to lunch. They started for
South Carolina at 3.45. At 2.30 I
met an appointment with Dr. Allen who
filled a front tooth. Back to Gordon 
by 5 P.M. shopping a little by the way.
