46 degrees max. [46 degrees maximum]               Fine
A rare day, absolutely cloudless & free
from haze, with scarce a breath of
wind. And, for the season, very mild.
  Walked down to St. John's with C.[Caroline]
at 10.30 taking Larry. I did not
enter the church because of a bad
bronchial cough. Wrote letters in
Museum after I got back. Mrs. Cobb
& Miss Allyn dined with us at 1.30.
We had a fine pair of chickens
from the Farm. E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] took her
first outdoor walk to-day- as far
as Fayerweather St. [Fayerweather Street]. We read aloud from
Collier's book on England this evening -
At 4.30 P.M. I again heard & saw the
Carolina Wren while at my desk in
Museum. He perched on the post & [scolded?]
& then flew up under the [eaves?] over
the bulkhead no doubt to roost among
the vines. Heard a Downy, a Flicker
& a Blue Jay in Garden during day.

Mostly fine
Raining hard at sunrise & up to 9 A.M.
By 10 the sun came out. Remainder
of day clear, calm & mild.
  C. & Miss Swazey went to New York
together to-day to spend the week at 
the "Martha Washington". C. drove
in town in a carriage. Gilbert [Robert Alexander Gilbert]
met her at station & looked after
the baggage etc. I should have
gone but for the weather & my cold
- which is better, however, I spent
most of day in Museum working
on the Merrill Memorial. Got some
new data for it by calling on 
Miss Hammond after dinner, She
gave me a copy of the sketch she
sent me last Spring which has disappeared.
Spent evening in hall with E.R.S.
Only one bird a Blue Jay, noted in
garden to-day.
