Ther. [Thermometer] TUES. AUG. 22, 1911 [Tuesday, August 22, 1911] Wea. [Weather]
Fine
Sunny but densely hazy or smoky
Warm with light southerly wind.
Walked through Garden & Jungle at 7.20 A.M.
seeing a Black & White Creeper & hearing an 
Oriole. There were 3 or 4 Robins, also, & a
Red-eye [red-eyed vireo] singing feebly in the lindens.
Went in town after breakfast to take 10 A.M.
train for Glendale. Will & Alice Stone &
Mary Lewis were on it with me to Pittsfield.
We ignored dining car & bought lunch at 
Springfield to eat in cars. Dan met me
at Glendale station with his Melvin auto.
We had long stroll in woods before sunset
They seemed more beautiful than ever but nearly
birdless. Sat up late talking with Mrs. F. [Mrs. French]
& Margaret. Saw Rabbit cross lawn in
twilight. Tree Crickets in full chorus.
My bed proving too hard to sleep on I
descended to parlor at 2 A.M. & sat there
until 7.30 dozing off at intervals.

Ther. [Thermometer] WED. AUG. 23, 1911 [Wednesday, August 23, 1911]      Wea. [Weather]
Fine
Sunny but very hazy. Warm &
humid with light westerly winds.
Spent most of forenoon talking
with Dan in his studio, he
working all the while on his statue
of Abram Lincoln for Lincoln, Neb. [Lincoln, Nebraska].
It is near completion and bids 
fair to be one of the very best things
he has ever done - a truly noble
& original conception in every way.
The Stone family arrived about noon
quite unexpectedly. Mrs. French insisted
on their remaining for lunch after which
we all went around with them through
studios, garden & woods for an hour.
Besides Will, Alice & Mary there were
Bessy & her husband (the Knowltons)
both of whom I liked at first sight.
Later in the day Dan & I inspected 
his vegetable garden, fruit orchard
& newly acquired Hawkins place.
