Brilliantly clear & delightfully

James, Zeph & Pat working at Ball's
Hill. James brought word that Walter
Deane & Ruthven were coming up
to spend day with me. I met them
at W. Bedford station [West Bedford station] on arrival of
10.41 train. We walked over Ball's Hill
& to Holden Hill & then had dinner
in the cabin. Soon after it we went 
to Farm via Davis Hill & Birch Field.
They left me at 4.30 when James 
drove them to Concord. I walked
back to cabin an hour later.
  Lots of Black-polls [Blackpoll warblers]  widely scattered.
15 to 18 White throats [White-throated sparrows] at Farm. Four

Fine
Cloudless & very warm with fresh
westerly wind.
  Pat came down early & worked
all day on the hillside west of
Bensen's knoll cutting down oaks
for his winters' wood which I give
him on condition that he clears up 
all the brush. I was with him most
of forenoon selecting trees to be [cut?]
It was like an August day & really too
warm for wood cutting. The river has
been but poorly frequented this year.
Hardly anybody on it this forenoon.
  I went to the Farm in P.M.
roaming about in the woods there &
getting a feast of grapes. Saw 3 Towhees
a dozen or more White-throats [White-throated sparrows] & a Robin.
A few Black-polls [Blackpoll warblers] in the woods. Saw
a Fish Hawk flying S.W. [southwest] at 9 A.M.
