Fine
Clear & cool with fresh N.W. [Northwest] wind.
  Spent entire day in Museum
working on Memorial from 10 A.M.

Made rather good progress dealing
with Henry's personal characteristics
and summing up his life for its
close of the article. The opening pages
are already dealt with. What
remains to be done is the middle
part relating chiefly to his ornithological
career and work.
  During a walk about the Garden
& Jungle just after breakfast I
saw 3 White-throats [White-throated Sparrows], a Robin, a [female] Downy [Downy Woodpecker], &
heard Chickadees & Kinglets.
There were three fine large Squirrels
in one tree.
