Very like our best Sept. [September] weather at home.
  I took a skiff at Tim's boat house
this forenoon & rowed up river about
a mile to a spreading willow under
which I sat in the boat for some
two hours writing a description of
the river, its vegetation etc. in my journal
A Kingfisher appeared twice near me
& I saw another on my way back.
There were many Dragon Flies. Birds
seemed scarce & I heard only Robins sing.
Came back to the Jeffersons' to lunch
at 1. On returning an hour later to
Mrs. Butler's I found C. [Caroline Brewster], E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons],
Miss Howard & Miss Allyn all assembled
there. We spent evening in parlor.
Bessy & Howard called. I now have a 
smoking room down stairs. Visited
Peel's Big Game Museum at 6.30. He
has a fine lot of African trophies.
