Ther. [Ther. [Thermometer] Fri. [Friday] Feb. 3, 1911 [February 3, 1911] Wea. [Weather]
9 [degrees] Dull.
Cloudy & cold with snow
falling lightly at times.
Heard a Chickadee in the Garden.
  Spent day in Museum at 
my usual task. Worked on
Herring Gull nearly finishing it.
C. [Caroline Brewster] worked through forenoon with
her type writer. I keep well
ahead of her with ease now.
  Had a most unexpected call
about 3 P.M. from Arthur P.
Chadbourne whom I had not seen 
for years. He has become gross
looking & his eyes have a harsh
keen expression. His exceptional 
intelligence seems unimpaired.
He stayed over an hour.
C. in town this eve. [evening]. E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] 
read to me from Joey Vance.

Ther. [Thermometer] Sat. [Saturday] Feb. 4, 1911 [February 4, 1911] Wea. [Weather]
Stormy.
Heavy rain & exceedingly dark &
lowering sky through most of
forenoon. Afternoon cloudy clearing
at sunset. Warm.
  Heard Crows cawing in early
morn. No other birds.
  Wrote letters after breakfast
until 10.40 when I started
for Boston to keep appointment
with Judge Abbott at our office.
It was raining like a thunder
shower & I found Brattle St. a
river of water & slush utterly
impassable except with rubber boots.
As mine have holes I gave it up
& came back. Worked on the 
Gull article in P.M. finishing it
Sent my type of Otophanes to
Ridgway and Fleming's specimen of
Aestrelata scalaris to him at Toronto.
