Ther. [Thermometer] WED. NOV. 24, 1909 [Wednesday, November 24, 1909] Wea. [Weather] 
N.E. [northeast] storm.
 Raining, sleeting & snowing by turns
with heavy N.E. [northeast] gale. Ground covered this
evening with wet snow & slush to a
depth of an inch or more.
  Spent day in Museum continuing,
with help of Gilbert [Robert Alexander Gilbert] & George, the task
of rearrangement begun several days
ago. It has been forced upon me
by the pressing necessity of getting
more room for books. We worked
to-day chiefly in the garret over
the large room, whence we removed
a great quantity of obsolete &
useless things.
  Lotty Kettell returned to New York
to day leaving by 10 A.M. train.
C. [Caroline], E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] & I spent evening in
morning room reading aloud. No birds,
no callers. Oh! There was one bird, a
large [male] Robin eating hawthorn berries.
Thanksgiving Day - Cambridge.
Ther. [Thermometer] THURS. NOV. 25, 1909 [Thursday, November 25,1909] Wea. [Weather] 
Stormy.
 A gloomy day with almost incessant
rain, which, however, has not taken off
all the snow. Warmer than yesterday: less wind.
  Spent forenoon in Museum writing
letters. Walter Deane called & stayed
nearly an hour. I came in at 1 to
dress for dinner. Our guests arrived
almost simultaneously, under umbrellas.
They were [Jennie?] & Emily Chapman,
Miss Eastwood, George & Mary Deane,
Frank & Margaret Manning, Geo. K.
Leverett [George K. Leverett] & Henry Purdie. Lizzy came
down stairs to join us at dinner.
C. & she had dressed the table with
fruit in a hollowed out pumpkin & with
ears of yellow & red corn. We all
danced a Virginia reel & played games
in the hall after dinner. The last of
our friends departed about 4.30.
Two Blue Jays in Garden at 9 A.M.
