Stormy
A dull, cloudy day with fine 
rain falling almost ceaselessly & E. [East] wind.
I spent it in Museum working
ceaselessly on Memorial from 9 A.M.
to 1 P.M. and from 2 to 7 P.M. &
making such good progress that tonight
my task seems finished although
I shall doubtless spend most 
of tomorrow putting on the finishing
touches. For almost the first time in
my life I wrote, today, page after
page without copying & with few verbal
changes. C. [Caroline Brewster] worked all afternoon &
got all but one page into type written 
copy. She read the whole article to
me this evening. She likes it, I am
of course wholly unable to judge it now
  Noticed no birds about the place
today perhaps because I was too
preoccupied. C. read "Rockwood Hoar'
in evening.

Fine
Clear, calm, very mild & indeed
almost summerlike.
  Spent day in Museum putting 
the finishing touches on Memorial.
It is now in shape to read at
Philadelphia although not in certain
ways ready for the press. Miss Purdie
came out to lunch with us & to
hear it read. She made a few
corrections of slight errors but no
other suggestions. As nearly as we could
judge she was quite sincere in her
expressions of strong approval of it.
Lizzy Fuller called at 7.30. I walked
home with her & then took apples to the
Chapmans. The evening very warm & still
At 8.30 A.M. saw a large mixed flock
of Pine Linnets & Goldfinches feeding in 
a gray birch in the Garden. Part flew off
before I could count them. There were
about 15 of each species I thought.
