Fine
Clear & mild with little or no
wind; - a November-like day.
  I stuck to my writing in 
the Museum from 10 A.M. to 6 P.M.
working still on the "Loon" which
nears completion and will
make four or five pages when 
printed. C. [Caroline Brewster] worked all the
forenoon with her type writer.
She & E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] went to Boston
in late P.M. to see something at 
Stuart Hall. Purdie arrived
at 6.30 P.M. to dine with me
& spend the evening. We had
a good time in the Museum
after dinner, talking & looking
over books. He has just
left me (10.15 P.M.). No birds 
to-day except perhaps a few House 
Sparrows.
[margin]Purdie brought me nest 2 eggs & [female] parent Black thd. Bunting [Black-throated Bunting] taken by Bean
in West Medford years ago. F. W Bridge gives
them to me.[/margin]
