Fine.
Clear & cool with light N. [north] wind.
  The work on a new fence
around our lawn & garden from
the front gate to the back of the
place on Brewster St. began this morning.
After seeing it started I went to
Boston where I spent most of day
in our office. Signed the annuity
cheques for April disbursement of 
Trust money. Also signed returns
of our property taxable in Cambridge.
Mackintire & I showed them to
Geo V. Leverett in his office. He
said he thought we were reporting
everything reasonably subject to taxation.
Charley Noyes lunched with me. We
paid him his April annuity after
deducting a sum for his father's estate
which should have been taken fr. [from] Jany. [January]
payment. Bought some hardwood, 2
Mayne Reid [Thomas Mayne Reid] books & an old Darling
engraving. Got home at 6.

Fine.
Brilliantly clear with light N.W. [Northwest]
wind. Early morning cool. Middle

  Spent most of forenoon working
with George on pond in front of 
Museum. We dug out & cemented
a further addition to it for bog
plants.
  Went to Mus. Comp. Zool. [Museum of Comparative Zoology] in P.M.
Met Col. T.W. Higginson wandering
about the building looking for Sam
Henshaw to whose room I showed him
the way afterwards giving him my
arm as he went down stairs & out, for
he seemed very feeble & poor of sight.
He talked of Alex. Agassiz [Alexander Agassiz] delightfully.
After that I spent an hour in the
bird room with Bangs who showed
me a fine collection of Mexican birds
collected by Armstrong & purchased by
Dr. Phillips for the Museum a short time
since. Got home at 6 P.M.
