  Dr Murkland left us soon after
breakfast. I wrote one or two letters
and then was interrupted by J. Dwight 
Jr. [Junior] who called to discuss point
in A.O.U.[American Ornithologists Union] Check List of which he
brought a big [?] of proof. We 
had been talking about an hour when
Dick Dana called to talk over a plan
for a bird day with Dan this coming spring
to renew associations of our own youth.
They both departed about 1 P.M.
At 1.30 Miss Allyn, Miss Balch and
Miss Clara [Howe?] arrived to drive with C.[Caroline]
E.R.S [Elizabeth R. Simmons] and me. At 4 p.m. I left them, 
to write more letters in Museum.
C. read Shackleton [Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton, "The Heart of the Antarctic"] to me this evening.

  Spent day in Museum arranging 
my pamphlets and putting them in the 
new cases. It is slow work & I 
did not finish it. Dwight and 
Batchelder called at 3.30 staying 
until 5. We looked over a number
of birds and discussed points of ornithology
in the new Check List. The Revd.[Reverend]    
Vaughan sent me some cranberries
& apples the other day & called this 
evening to solicit his annual donation.
I gave him $5 much against my 
will for I thoroughly dislike & distrust  
him. The ground is snow covered 
again to a depth of about 6 in. [inches].  We have 
a great show of tulips, crocus and jonquils now.
