Ther. [Thermometer]   THURS. JAN. 20, 1910 [Thursday, January 20, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
24 [24 degrees] 36 [36 degrees]   Fine.
Clear, calm, mild.
Spent day in Museum
preparing books & pamphlets
for binding. There is an 
accumulation of them dating
back a number of years during
which little binding has been done.
  C. [Caroline] drove over to Brookline
in a coupe this afternoon to
stay until Sunday with
Mary Greenough. It is the first 
time she has passed through our
front gate since her return
from New York five weeks ago.
E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] went over with her
returning at once, however.
We are still reading Shackleton
in the hall every evening.
A Flicker & a Blue Jay in Garden.

Ther. [Thermometer]   FRI. JAN. 21, 1910 [Friday, January 21, 1910]  Wea. [Weather]
Dull.
Cloudy and warm with light wind.
Snow and ice melting fast the ground
now bare again in places.
Spent entire day in Museum 
working with Gilbert [Robert Alexander Gilbert] on the
pamphlets. I have decided to
rearrange them all by authors.
Hitherto they have been arranged
primarily under different subjects,
a plan open to many objectives.
I grudge giving so much time to this
kind of work but the congestion &
confusion in my library have become
simply intolerable.
  No birds were noted in our 
grounds to-day. The Flickers, even,
were absent. They come mostly
every day to feast on the little 
Parkman apples [Parkman crabapples], very abundant this
year.
