Ther. [Thermometer] SAT. JAN. 8, 1910 [Saturday, January 8, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
20 min. [20 degrees minimum]  Fine
Clear, calm, frosty but not cold.
  To Merrimac this forenoon by
10.54 train from Boston. Had
lunch in cheap restaurant near
station in Haverell [Haverhill]. Took thence
the 1 P.M. electric car for Merrimac
which I reached at 1.30 getting 
off the car at Uncle Henry's house
where everything was ready for his
funeral. Only a very few came to it 
& these all members of the family I think.
The Episcopal service was read & a 
woman sang "Nearer My God" to harp
accompanyment. I sat with Charley & his
wife, my cousin [Miriam?] & [?]
Gould in small inner room. Had to 
leave before end of service to take
return cars for Haverill [Haverhill] & Boston.
Got home about 6. Skating & coasting
going on [?] in country. Saw 
Gulls & I think [?] in [Merrimac?] R. [River].

15 min [15 degrees minimum]     Fair
  Sunny but hazy; calm; rather
cold.
  Spent most of day in Museum
writing letters. Harry and May
Cunningham, Miss Allyn & Miss Hoppin
dined with E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] & Me at 1 P.M.
C.[Caroline] received May in the morning
room seeing her for 10 minutes, her
first visitor from outside, for weeks.
  Saw a Flicker in the Garden
about 9 A.M. & I heard 2 Blue
Jays screaming there a little later.
There are fewer birds about
our place this Winter, than usual.
No irregular winter visitors except 
Evening Grosbeaks have been reported
from anywhere near Cambridge.
Altogether it seems a poor bird winter.
The sleighing in our city streets
continues good.
