Concord - Cambridge.
Ther. [Thermometer] Mon. [Monday] Oct. 9, 1911 [October 9, 1911] Wea. [Weather]
Fine
Brilliantly clear & deliciously warm
with light westerly winds.
  It was simply heavenly at the cabin
in early morning when a thin night
fog was dissolved by the rising sun.
  The Allens & I departed however, by the
8.13 train. I went directly to Mus.
Comp. Zool. [Museum of Comparative Zoology] where I spent forenoon
working on my brief annual report which
I finished at 12.30. Went thence to
Harvard Sq. [Harvard Square] to cash some cheques & then 
to our house. Spent afternoon writing in
Museum & giving Percy directions about
his flowers etc. Garden very attractive
& alive with birds. Noted a dull [female]
Redstart (very late date), 6 Black-polls,
2 Golden crest Kinglets, about a dozen
White-thro. Sparrows [white-throated Sparrows] & a Flicker.
Lots of ripe & deliciously sweet grapes
in the old arbor. Not much color.
Spent evening alone reading in den.
Nancy here to cook for me.

Cambridge - Rutherford.
Ther. [Thermometer] Tues. [Tuesday] Oct. 10, 1911 [October 10, 1911] Wea. [Weather]
Fine
Clear & warm with light southerly wind.
  Our Garden very charming in the early
morning sunlight, just before breakfast,
when I had my last view of it before
going in town. Called at our office &
saw Arthur who starts for McWoods to-mor. [tomorrow].
Also saw Haley for few minutes.
  Took 10.03 train for New York. Looked
out o' windows most of ways. Autumn
coloring wonderful in places especially near
Providence, where oaks of every kind, as 
well as maples, were ablaze. Never, perhaps, 
have I seen anything to equal it before.
Reached New York at 4.20. Crossed to 
23rd St. Ferry & took 5 P.M. boat for
train to Rutherford arriving there
about 6. George & Emmy met me at station
with their span of white horses. We
had a fine family dinner & spent
evening in house talking by open fire.
