Ther. [Thermometer] Sun. [Sunday] Jan. 8, 1911 [January 8, 1911] Wea. [Weather]
38 [degrees] max [maximum] Fair
Partly sunny, partly cloudy. Very
mild with a soft, spring-like air.
  Spent forenoon in Museum
writing letters, I had hoped to
go to church with C. [Caroline Brewster] but did not
feel quite up to it. My trouble is
passing off however.
  Mr. & Mrs. Sawyer & Miss Allyn
dined with us & spent most of
afternoon. After they had gone I
went to the Deane's where I saw
first Walter, next Dr. & Mrs. Robinson,
then Margie, finally Jennie Chapman.
Returning to Museum wrote more
letters. C. & I had supper at 6.30.
E. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] went to Mrs. Thayer's as usual.
After her return we had the Irish 
stories by Ross.
  Saw a Chickadee & a Blue Jay
in Garden - nothing else. Saw 
a Creeper in one of the lindens.

Ther. [Thermometer] Mon. [Monday] Jan. 9, 1911 [January 9, 1911] Wea. [Weather]
35 [degrees] max. [maximum] Fair
Heavy rain last night. Cloudy,
but not darkly so, to day. Mild.
  Spent day in Museum
composing fresh matter for the
Pine Point chapter & making very
good progress despite the fact that
I was in the grip of a heavy
feverish cold which began to
manifest itself last evening.
It cost me the pleasure of being
with C's [Caroline Brewster's] guests, Mrs. Scudder,
Miss Jennie Chapman, at
luncheon & with the others of her
reading class at afternoon tea for
I did not consider myself in fit
condition to appear on either of 
these occasions. We read the Irish
stories again this evening.
  Purdie & 2 men worked all day
in the lindens. Heard a Chickadee
& 2 Blue Jays in the Garden.
