20º [20 degrees]- 28º [28 degrees]  Fine
Clear & cool with fresh W. [west] wind.
  Spent day in Museum
writing letters etc. Went over
a big batch of proof of A.O.U [American Ornithologists Union] 
Check List sent me by Dwight
who wished me to pass on a
large number of emendations which
he had suggested to Allen & the
latter had ignored. Most of them
seem to me desirable & some
inoperative but a few are obviously 
fussy. I marked such as I 
approved & returned the proof. This 
took most of afternoon. A letter
came from Alva Coolidge this morning
expressing regrets for the troubles last June.
Sally Dearborn & [?] Kettell dined
with Emmy, E.R.S.[Elizabeth R. Simmons], C.[Caroline] & me. All but
C. went out to Museum at 8.30 & I showed
them lantern slides of Bethel & L. Umbagog [Lake Umbagog].

Planned a new arrangement
of step ladder to gallery with
Billcliffe's help. Also a new fence
& front gate. These matters
occupied abut half the day. The
remaining half was devoted to
writing letters. John Baker
called in forenoon to look at birds.
He saw 5 Gooseanders [Goosanders] & about 150
Black Ducks in Fresh P. [Fresh Pond] this morning.
  When Dr. A.M.Tuttle was here a few
days ago I gave him about 20 skins
of western & Mexican birds. He called
this evening with a friend, bringing me
as a gift a Bohemian Waxwing taken
last winter at Grand Menan [Grand Manan?] and a very
odd-looking [male] Baldpate, both mounted birds.
E.R.S. [Elizabeth R.Simmons] went to Concord for the night.
Emmy & I sat with C.[Caroline] until 9 P.M.
