Dull.
Mostly cloudy calm & mild
clearing at sunset when a N.W. [Northwest] 
gale started blowing with very 
unusual violence, shaking our 
house & roaring lustily in
the old lindens.
  Heard Crows cawing at
sunrise. No birds noted through 
day. Gilbert reports seeing
two Shrikes in the Smith place
on Brattle St. this morning.
  Spent day in Museum
working eight solid hours on
the Loon article & adding
three pages of M.S. to it.

Cloudy & chilly but not cold
& almost windless. Snow began
falling at dusk but it soon

  No birds. Where are they?
C. [Caroline Brewster] & I went to church at 10.30
as usual. Fred Allen preached,
or rather, talked, about his
Boston city Mission work.
He was very interesting.
  Miss Allyn, Miss Hoppin,
Mrs. Cobb, Lizzy Fuller and
Mrs. Mansfield, dined with us
& spent afternoon. Dick Dana
called at 5.30 staying about 1/2
hour. He was delightful. 
I wrote letters whenever I could
get a chance, through forenoon
& afternoon.
