Cambridge.
Ther. [Thermometer] Sat. [Saturday] April 10, 1909 Wea. [Weather] 
Clear.
  Brilliantly clear with light W. [West] 
wind. A fine day but cool.
  Spent day in Museum writing
letters etc. Billcliffe & Gilbert [Robert A. Gilbert]
hung the painting of Canada Geese
by Howard in my study. We
tried it first in the specimen
room but it did not look
well there & the light did not 
suit it. In afternoon called
on the Blackwells. They want
a lot more things done to their
house, a hot water heater etc.
Very few birds. I heard
Robins singing Crows cawing 
& Jays screaming in early morn
but nothing else. Purdie & I
sat in the den through the 
evening, talking.
