Ther. [Thermometer] Tues. [Tuesday] Nov. 28, 1911 [November 28, 1911] Wea. [Weather]
Cloudy & very mild with south
west wind which brought heavy
rain at night-fall.
  Spent day in Museum working
on "Flight of Gulls" article, making
poor progress and falling far
short of finishing it as I had
hoped to do. It must hence miss
the January Auk, I fear, and go
over to April number as I cannot
get at it again this week.
  C. [Caroline Brewster] much better today. She drove
to the Thayer's this forenoon & saw
E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] who is going steadily but not
yet able to sit up. Miss Swarzy
lunched & Lizzy Fuller dined with
me. C. read from the Rockwood
Hoar book to me in the evening.
Heard Chickadees & a Golden-crest
in Garden.

Cambridge - New York.
Ther. [Thermometer] Wed. [Wednesday] Nov. 29, 1911 [November 29, 1911] Wea. [Weather]
Fair
Cloudy with brief periods of sunshine.
  Spent an hour or more after
breakfast in packing etc. went
in town at 10.30. Arthur Robbins
in car. He killed 10 Partridges the other
day in 13 shots, this in Carlisle. He
started 25-30 a day for 3 days.
We saw about 150 Scaup Ducks in
the basin as we crossed Harvard Bridge.
I spent over an hour with Evelyn
Purdie in her studio looking over Henry's 
books & birds. She gave me a crayon 
portrait of him she had made to take
to New York. It is satisfactory to me
although not a perfect likeness. I
lunched with Will & Alice Stone in their
studio at 1. At 1.45 I met C. [Caroline Brewster] &
Miss Swazey at Back Bay Station.
We took 2 P.M. train for New York.
It was in two sections, very crowded &
took nearly 2 hours on the way so that
we did not get in until 9.45. We
had nothing to eat except some
sandwiches which C. brought along.
