Wea. [Weather] Sun. [Sunday] Jan. 19, 1908 [January 19, 1908] Ther. [Thermometer]
A rare day, cloudless, calm, just
pleasantly cool - or warm - which shall
one say? Ther. [Thermometer] about 50 [degrees] at noon.
  To the Ontario at 10.30 to see
Henry. He is suffering from intestinal
indigestion but keeps out & at his work.
I sat with him in his room until
noon. Two Buzzards passed the window
very near. Crows cawing. Got back in
time for lunch with C. [Caroline Brewster]. In the afternoon
we called on the Vernon Baileys &
on the Merriams. I called alone on 
Mrs. Baker. Walked back from there.

Wea. [Weather] Monday 20 [January 20, 1908] Ther. [Thermometer]
Clear, calm, mild.
  C. [Caroline] spent the day in our rooms, in her
wrapper. I helped her about some
copying she is doing for Henry. Also I
worked on Umbagog M.S. [Umbagog manuscript] for three or four
hours. Went to Dr. Allen's at 1.30. He
took another plaster cast of my mouth
& extracted a loose piece of jaw bone.
W.E. Brigham, Washington reporter for the
Bos. Transcript [Boston Transcript], interviewed me this evening
at. [about] the Association trouble. I told him
literally nothing except that "I was
leaving the Presidency in a spirit of
perfect friendliness & good will towards all the 
members."

Wea. [Weather] Tues. [Tuesday] Jan. 21, 1908 [January 21, 1908] Ther. [Thermometer]
Partly cloudy, calm, mild.
  Took a short walk just after
breakfast, calling at a tailor's & at a flower
store to order some roses for C. [Caroline Brewster] at E.R.S's [Elizabeth R. Simmon's] 
request. Worked on Umbagog M.S. [Umbagog manuscript] there rest
of forenoon. To Dr. Allen's at 1.30. He filled
a front tooth. Started for Brookland at
2 P.M. Reached there about 2.30. Found
Mr. & Mrs. Ridgway at home & spent more
than an hour with them. Saw a [male] Cardinal
& a Carolina Chickadee in their grounds & one more 
of each species on my way there. On my way
back noted a straggling flight of roosting Crows of
both species - not many - perhaps 100 in all.

Wea. [Weather] Wednesday 22 [January 22, 1908] Ther. [Thermometer]
Clear with light N.E. [Northeast] wind. almost
oppressively warm in forenoon; cooler at evening.
  Worked on Umbagog M.S. [Umbagog manuscript] most of
forenoon. Visited Dr. Allen's office at 10.50
to have a filling smoothed off. C. [Caroline] & I had
for lunch a Quail that Jim Melvin sent us.
I took another to Henry at 2.30. His
intestinal trouble is no better & he is fast
breaking down nervously, I went with
him to Dr. Yarrow's at 3.30 spending
about an hour there. Worked again on
the M.S. [manuscript] after my return. C. [Caroline] began a new
story this eve. [evening] "Lord Cammarleigh’s Secret"
