Ther. [Thermometer] THURS. [Thursday] MAR. 3, 1910 [March 3, 19010] Wea. [Weather]
Fine
Clear, calm, mild. A spring-like
day devoid of chill yet not very warm.
  As I was writing a letter to
Judge Abbott about 10.30 a telegram
came from him to say that he and 
Judge Young were to meet at the
Quincey House at 1. I met them 
both there at that hour. After Young
& I lunched together we had a 
talk with Abbott in his room. I told
them what had happened yesterday.
They wished me to go to some law firm,
like Hutchins & Wheeler, to arrange for an
appeal but I declined take any such
part in their action. I took them to 
Estabrook & Co. & introduced them to Watson.
They afterwards went to Kenny & Bell.
Where Abbott telephoned me that an
appeal would probably be issued to-morrow.
I invested $5000 Estate money in City of Boston
bonds & signed a cheque for them. Got home at 5.
No birds noted about our place to-day.
Cambridge
Ther. [Thermometer] FRI. [Friday] MAR. 4, 1910 [March 4, 19010] Wea. [Weather]
Fine.
Clear, calm mild. During the past
six days the thermometer has remained
above the freezing point nearly the whole
time, by nights as well as by day.
  Spent entire day in Museum
working on a reply to Dwight's 
article on Black Ducks. I find it 
difficult to assail his conclusions
effectively without criticizing harshly
the quality of the evidence on which 
he based them, a thing I do not like
to do. Practically all I have written
to-day seems to me unsatisfactory this
evening but such is usually my experience
when beginning an article for publication.
Mackintire called at 9 A.M. I gave him
Almy's report on Estate Mortgages & asked
him to rectify a few matters that Almy had
mildly criticized.
A Flicker shouting & Crows cawing this
forenoon in the Garden.
