Ther. [Thermometer] Wed. [Wednesday] JULY 7, 1909 Wea. [Weather]
Clear & cool.
A cool & admirably, clear day
with light N.W. [Northwest] wind.
  Spent forenoon in studio
writing letters. In late
afternoon Dan & I went
over to McIntosh's pretty
little place where we spent
an hour or two sitting on
the back porch with Mr. M.
& his friend, Mr. Swan.
It was delightful there
with the ridge to the east
bathed in sunlight & the
birds singing all about us.
There was a fine voiced Hermit
on the ridge & a Veery at
its base. A Wood Pewee & an
Indigo Bird sang near the house.
McIntosh showed us a lot of
photographs.

Ther. [Thermometer] THURS. [Thursday] JULY 8, 1909 Wea. [Weather]
Clear & cool.
Another brilliant & indeed quite
perfect day.
  Mr. Swan came over after
breakfast for a walk in the 
woods with me. He is a capital
fellow & interested in birds. 
We first spent an hour in Dan's
hemlock-grown pasture & then
crossed the road to the mixed
pine & hemlock woods beyond.
  In both places we found
plenty of birds, among them
Magnolia, Blackburnian & Yellow rump
Warblers. In the pasture a Towhee
followed us everywhere singing
incessantly. Dan gave me another 
sitting for his oil painting of me, after
dinner. Later we climbed his 
mountain & spent 2 hours there.
Margaret has a house party of
young people [?] sent word.
