12 [degrees] min. [minimum] Robins Fair.
Sky overcast with thin clouds. Calm.
  Spent day in Museum composing

Called at the Almys this evening
seeing only the Judge & smoking a
cigar with him. Returned & C. & E [Elizabeth R. Simmons]
read to me for an hour in the hall
  At 1 P.M. as I was coming to the
house from Museum I heard Robins
calling. The next instant they
appeared from eastward & poured 
into Garden in perfect stream. I
counted 50 & think there were a few
more. They remained about 1/2 hour
attacking what few berries were
left in the hawthorns, Parkman apple
& barberry bushes. Many ran about
over the ground - partly [?].
Others perched in trees. One sang a
little, softly & brilliantly.

Fair
- Sky overcast. Little wind. Warmer.
  Spent day in Museum working
on description of Pine Point. Made
a great spurt at it composing.
ten pages of which several were 
not once rewritten, a surprizing [surprising]
feat for me to accomplish.
If only I could stick to literary
work day after day as I have
this week I could unquestionably
accomplish it much better as well
as easier. A single day devoted
to other things puts me all out
of gear.
  David Loring called this morning.
I find him very interesting.
Apparently the only birds in the
Garden to-day were a Chickadee,
a Robin & a Flicker. The Robins
seem to have eaten every berry.
