Ther. [Thermometer] THURS. NOV. 2, 1911 [Thursday, November 2, 1911] Wea. [Weather]
First snowflakes.      Mixed.
Partly sunny, chiefly cloudy with
high, harsh, N.W. [northwest] wind which brought
every now & then, clouds of whirling
eddying snow-flakes.
  Spent day in Museum writing letters
& cheques for bills. Mr. Darling called
in P.M. to consult me about the [houses?].
C.[Caroline] came back from the Thayers' at 3.30
utterly worn out & has slept ever since.
At 10 P.M. we waked her but she would
eat nothing. I dined at 7 with Miss
Stinson. Walter Deane called at 8 &
stayed until 10 when he & I went to
the druggists on hill for malted milk for C.
  In the Garden this morning I saw all
at once 4 Chickadees, 2 Br. Creepers [Brown Creepers],
1 Robin, 2 White-throats [2 White-throated Sparrows], 1 Downy W. [Downy Woodpecker].
Also heard a Jay screaming.
  Leaves mostly fallen & Garden having
a rather country aspect.
