Bethel. 
Wea. [Weather] Sat. [Saturday] July 25, 1908 Ther. [Thermometer]
Raining lightly but steadily all day. Cool
with light southerly winds.
  Walked down town after breakfast.
Met Alva Coolidge & had a long talk
with him. He thinks it would be
difficult & expensive to launch the house
boat now. The camp at Pine Point is
dilapidated & dirty, the Lakeside Hotel
ill-kept. All this sounds discouraging.
   On my way back called on Al Rowe
Spent most of day reading & writing letters.

Wea. [Weather] Sunday 26 [July 26, 1908] Ther. [Thermometer]
Clear & just pleasantly warm with
fresh W. [West] wind.
  Usual family Services at 9.30
attended by all the patients & friends.
After that I walked down the village
Street nearly to the railroad. The
barrel Martin home inhabited only by
English Sparrows now. Three Warbling
Vireos singing in the village elms.
  The Doctor & I went to the Shack in
late P.M. & had a good talk there.
About 9 P.M. heard for first time this season
the lisp of a Warbler migrating overhead.

Bethel. 
Wea. [Weather] Sat. [Saturday] July 27, 1908 Ther. [Thermometer]
Clear & warm with light W. [West] wind.
Heavy thunder showers at 9 & 11.30 P.M.
  Walked down town as far as Clint
Barker's in forenoon. Went to the Shack
about 4.30 P.M., spending an hour there.
Woods very serene & beautiful but for the most
part silent. Heard a Hermit in distance, a Cuckoo
near at hand, Martins & Eave Swallows overhead.
Saw a mixed flock of about 15 Warblers but
they were restless & I did not overtake & identify
any of them. They looked & acted like newly
arrived migrants.

Wea. [Weather] Tuesday 28 [July 28, 1908] Ther. [Thermometer]
Cloudy all day. Cooler. Wind S.W. [southwest]
  Walked down village street to the
landing this forenoon. Heard a House Wren in 
full song in orchard behind Ceylon Rowe's store.
It must be the same bird which hitherto this month
sang on the opposite (east) side of the Common
near the library & in June above the hotel.
  The afternoon spent as usual
([?]) hot & cold showering followed 
by hyp. [hypnotic] suggestion & a nap, then
up & out again walking to Shack
where I stayed about an hour.
Singing in the parlor this morning by young lady.
