Ther. [Thermometer]  SUN. [Sunday] JAN. 10, 1909 [January 10, 1909] Wea. [Weather]
Cloudy, calm, mild with fine
rain or sleet at wide intervals.
  Went to St. Johns with C. [Caroline Brewster] at
10.45. Dr. Hodges preached a
fine sermon on miracles. Some
of the music - especially a tenor
solo - was exquisite. Got back
12.45 when Dick Dana called
& stayed about half-an-hour
talking about civil service & gypsy
moths. We sat down eight at dinner
the guests Harry & Alice Bartlett, 
Miss Allyn, Dora Willard & Ned Andrews.
At 5 P.M. C. & I went in coupe to
Longwood. Harry Greenough & his wife
out but we saw Charley & Mary.
Heard a Flicker in our Garden & 
saw 7 Crows perched together in
top of one of our lindens. Mrs. Leverett
called at 8 P.M.
Cambridge - Boston
Ther. [Thermometer] MON. [Monday] JAN. 11, 1909 [January 11, 1909] Wea. [Weather]
Very mild Spring-like weather
again with no snow or ice, little frost
in the ground, muddy streets & side walks.
To Boston at 9.30 A.M. Went
directly to office to sign quarterly
Estate cheques. Afterwards called at
deposit vaults, to put in some gold in
my box, and at Butterfield's, where
I bought five of Long's books.
Lunched at Athletic Club & read
there for an hour afterward.
Home at 3.30 to write letters until
dinner time.
A Flicker & crows heard near house this 
morning. The now tideless Charles
continues frozen except where Stony Brook
discharges into the Back Bay basin just
above Harvard Bridge. Here there is a long
wide space of open water in which I saw
about 50 Whistlers on January 1 and 10 or 12
to-day. There was fully 1000 Gulls to-day
in a dense bed on the ice 200 yds [yards] from the bridge.
