New York
Ther. [thermometer] SAT. [Saturday] JUNE 3, 1911 Wea. [Weather]
Dull.
Cloudy & cool with light showers in A.M.
I went to Am. Mus. [American Museum of Natural History] at 11 to meet Dwight.
We had long talk about Audubon Soc. [Audubon Society] matter
& then walked to his home for lunch.
Mrs. Dwight came down to it & I had
a pleasant talk with her. She seems
as gay & bright as ever but is very trim.
Pearson came in at 2.30 bringing another
statement which he & Carter had just written.
He is greatly stirred up & very anxious.
Dwight & I agreed that the situation
should not be taken too seriously. We
returned to Museum at 3 & looked at
birds for an hour. I got back to hotel at
5. Pearson called a little later. He came
terribly excited this time having just seen
reporters of Herald & Times who had
frightened him badly. I soothed him as
best I could & advised him to go to
Washington to see Palmer. He agreed to
start to-night. He threatens to go all to
pieces under the strain. C. [Caroline Brewster] was in
her room when I went up & E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons]
came in at same time. C. came from
Boston by 10.03 A.M. train.
New York
Ther. [Thermometer] SUN. [Sunday] JUNE 4, 1911 Wea. [Weather]
Fine
Clear & cool with fresh N.W. [northwest] wind
A rarely perfect day.
  At 10.30 I went to Church of Incarnation
Madison Av. Meeting C. [Caroline Brewster] there. She remained
after regular service for Communion & I 
walked back to Murray Hill where I found
George, Lotty & Emmy Kettell talking with
Lizzy in her room. George & I had a smoke
& talk just before & after dinner which
was served at 1.15. The Kettells left for
home at 4 P.M. when Geo. B. Grinnell
called to ask me to dine with him
this evening an invitation I was sorry
to decline. Like Dwight & myself he 
is more amused than concerned at the 
newspaper row over the Audubon Soc. [Audubon Society]
matter. The Herald & Times had more
about it this morning but of a less
objectionable kind than that of yesterday.
C. E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] & I supped together at 7 & read
aloud in room afterwards.
