Snowing heavily all the afternoon, most
of it melting as it struck but about an
inch covering the ground by nightfall. A
raw dismal day with violent winds. 
  C. [Caroline Brewster] went to church at 11 but I did not
set foot out of doors all day. Through
the forenoon & the latter part of the afternoon
I worked on Umbagog M.S. [Umbagog manuscript] revising old
matter & writing a little new. Henry
called at 3.30 staying about an hour. 
He had seen Yarrow who thought him better.
C. read aloud from "Lord Cammarleigh’s Secret" 
in the evening.

Ground covered 1 in. deep with snow.

Began writing letters after breakfast when
Henry telephoned that he was feeling much 
worse, that he going to his niece's in
Watertown & that he needed my help. I
first went down town & bought his tickets for
the Federal Ex. to-night. After lunch I went
to the Ontario & packed his trunk. Merriam
called to say good bye to him. At 4.30 I went
with him in a cab to the Union Station,

Clear, calm, mild. Snow wasting
rapidly the streets & sidewalks bare &
dry by sunset but the lawns still white.
  Spent forenoon in hotel lobby writing
letters. C. [Caroline Brewster] & I went to Belasco Theatre
after lunch to see the "Great Divide",
a good melodrama well acted. It
was over about five o'clock when we
walked up Sixteenth Street to Dupont
Circle and back. It was like an April
evening & the western sky was flecked with
delicately tinted clouds. C. read aloud after dinner.

  Merriam, his daughter Zenaida, Fisher,
Nelson, Chapman, Shiras & I spent
the forenoon together at the Zoo where we
were taken about by Dr. Baker & one of his
assistants. I enjoyed it exceedingly. I
heard a Bay Lynx "meow" much like a 
house cat only louder. We got back at noon.
Jim Melvin passing through the city from
Boston to Snelling called with Arthur
Robbins at 1.30. He stayed an hour. I 
went to Dr. Allen's at 3 P.M. He kept me
over two hours trying to make my new plate
fit. I went again to Merriam's at 5.30
staying an hour. A Mr. [?] there.
