Gravenstein Apple in bloom. Stormy.
Raining most of day, at times heavily.
Wind S.W. [SOUTHWEST] in forenoon, E. [east] in afternoon.
  Took breakfast at the Danas' at 8.15
with Dick, Edith, Mr. & Mrs. Joe Thorpe
and Dan French who had arrived from
N.Y. last night to consult about the
Longfellow Memorial Statue he is
to make for the family. I enjoyed this
meeting with the friends of my youth exceedingly.
Left them at 9.15 and went to Boston
where in our office I had a long talk
with Arthur E. over the Trustee matter.
He objects strongly to any Wolfeboro man
and insists on a Boston one. He thinks he
can prevail on Bassett to resign & will see
him to-morrow about it. I got home at
1.30 George Simmons & his fiancee took
lunch with us. Miss. Jeanie Chapman
who spent last night with us sailed for England
[delete]this[/detele] noon. I spent afternoon packing etc. to
go to Washington to-morrow.

Cambridge - Washington
Ther. [Thermometer] WED. [Wednesday] APRIL 27, 1910 Wea. [Weather]
Fine
Clear & cool with fresh W. [west] wind.
C. [Caroline Brewster], E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] & I started for Washington
at 9 A.M. by "Colonial Express". Little
or no advance in vegetation was noted
until we had passed New York. Throughout
Connecticut the conditions were almost
identical with those near Boston. Near
Purgatory Swamp in saw acres of
marsh marigold. In the great swamp
between Providence & Westerly
quantities of Shad bush in full bloom. Through
Pennsylvania the oaks were covered with
small leaves; at Philadelphia poplars in 
nearly full leaf; in Washington the oak
woods were dense with leafing of yellow green,
the sidewalk maples & other trees in
full, rich summer foliage. Very few
birds noted. Henry met us at Station.
I went to Ontario with him. The others
including George Kettell (who joined us in Phila [Philadelphia]).
Went to Hotel Garden.
