  Spent entire day in hotel
writing on Umbagog M.S. [Umbagog manuscript] in the lobby
down stairs from 10 A.M. to 1 P.M.
and from 3 P.M. to 5.30 P.M.
C. [Caroline Brewster] spent the day in bed on account
of her neuralgia which, however, is
better rather than worse. The guests at 
the Gordon are an uninteresting lot, I
am on speaking terms with only two of
them & C.'s position is the same.

Wea. [Weather] SAT. [Saturday] FEB. 1 [February 1, 1908] Ther. [Thermometer]
Cloudy with light rain. Mild. About
2 inches of snow fell last night. The
rain carried off most of it to-day.
  I worked on Umbagog M.S. [Umbagog manuscript] most of day
spending, however, two or three hours
with C. [Caroline Brewster] who kept to her bed and taking
a short walk at evening. The sidewalks 
were wet & slushy but most of the snow
had disappeared. Horses were slipping
badly on the asphalt. The clouds were
breaking in the west and the air was
cooler than at noon.
