Ther. [Thermometer] FRI. [Friday] DEC. 8, 1911 [December 8, 1911] Wea. [Weather]
Fine
Sunny, calm, mild; like
mid-October weather.
  Worked on galley proofs of
Memorial in forenoon, on Flight
of Gulls article in afternoon. The
latter is wholly written & C. [Caroline Brewster] has
type written most of it but I
keep revising it. Mary Greenough
lunched with C. & me - or rather
dined - at 1 P.M. We had one
of the farm chickens. Gilbert
went in town with Duvey's
team & brought out Henry Purdie's
collection of bird skins - in six
trunks. I am to dispose of them
as I think best - a sad task.
Heard a Flicker and a Golden
crest [Golden-crowned Kinglet] in the Garden this morning.

Ther. [Thermometer] SAT. [Saturday] DEC. 9, 1911 [December 9, 1911] Wea. [Weather] 
Stormy
Raining steadily all day. Foggy
and very mild. No frost in the 
ground and no snow as yet although
there has been good sleighing this week
at Rutherford N. J. [Rutherford, New Jersey] we hear.
  Spent day in Museum putting 
finishing touches on Flight of Gulls
article adding more or less to it in
the way of foot notes and an extra 
page as an ending. It went
to New York by mail this evening.
C. [Caroline Brewster] worked on it most of forenoon.
We dined together at 6.30. At 7.15
I met Will Stone at Brattle Hall
and we saw a remarkably good play
given by the Dramatic Club. We sat
just behind the Batchelders, next
Walter Deane & Judge Churchill, in front 
of Constance Williston. C. was too tired 
to go.
