Ther. [Thermometer] Thurs. [Thursday] Nov. 4, 1909 [November 4, 1909] Wea. [Weather]
Fine.
Sunny, calm, very warm.
Spent day in Museum working
on my Mus. Comp. Zool. [Museum of Comparative Zoology] report
& finishing it. Mager Furnace Co.
sent out a man to estimate cost
of new furnaces at 2 Riedsel Ave.
He agrees to furnish & set it for $190.
Henry went to Boston in forenoon
& to Mus. Comp. Zool. [Museum of Comparative Zoology] in afternoon.
We went around the Garden at
1 P.M. & saw there 3 Chickadees,
a Robin, 6 White-throats, a
White-billed Nuthatch & a Downy.
I heard a Ruby-crown distinctly
& thought I heard the Carolina Wren
chatter once in the lilacs but am not
quite sure of it. There was a 
Goldfinch in the birches. E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons]
fell on the curbstone on Garden St.
late evening & is lame & bruised by it.

Cambridge - Boston.
Ther. [Thermometer] Fri. [Friday] Nov. 5, 1909 [November 5, 1909] Wea. [Weather]
Clear & cooler with fresh N.W. [Northwest] wind.
H.W.H. [Henry W. Henshaw] went down to Mus. Comp. Zool. [Museum of Comparative Zoology]
at 9.30 A.M. I followed him about 11.
Saw Saml. Henshaw [Samuel Henshaw] & gave him my 
report. Also saw Thaxter & Barbour.
Henry & I lunched at Dunster Cafe.
Returned to house, changed our clothes,
spent an hour in Museum, called on 
Walter & Margie, went in town at 6,
dined at Athletic Club. Knowlton
gave us an admirable paper on plants
etc. of Farmington, Maine. It was followed
by the discussion. About 30 members present.
Saw 5 White-throats & several Chickadees in
the Garden. The Wren seems to have departed.
Some of the trees still gay with autumn
foliage especially cherry trees. Japanese 
barberry bushes especially rich in color.
