Partly sunny, partly cloudy with

shallow pond holes frozen over.
Farmers ploughing the land in places.
General coloring everywhere browns
& russets. Brooks & swamps full of 
water from recent rains suggesting
marsh conditions when the winter
snows have just melted. Saw no birds
except a few Gulls, a number of Crows
& 2 Meadow Larks. I got off at
Back Bay Station & came directly
out. C. & Miss. S went to South Station.
I called at Walter Deanes just after

Urich visits me Fine
Clear & cool with light northerly wind.
Cambridge lawns still fairly green.
  F. W. Urich, whom I knew in Caparo,
Trinidad, in 1894 and met in New York
last Friday came out at 10 A.M. to spend 
to-day with me. During the forenoon we
had a splendid talk about Trinidad
by my study fire and I showed the 
collection of birds & eggs in which Urich
seemed to take no great interest. AT 1.30
we came in to dine with C. [Caroline Brewster], Miss Allyn,
Walter & Margie Dean. At 3.30 Walter,
& I took Urich to Mus. Comp. Zool. [Museum of Comparative Zoology] where
we met Sam Henshaw in his room by appointment.
He showed us insects etc. At 4.45 we
went to Roland Thaxter at 5.15 we put
Urich on his car for Boston whence he 
leaves for New York to night after dining
with a friend in town. He has impressed us
all most favorably. a fine, clear headed,
well-trained naturalist with lots of common
sense & much good nature & humor
[margin]C. & I supped together alone. She has a cold to-night[/margin]
