Interview with Murkland       Stormy
North-easter continued through
day with high wind & heavy rain.
  To Boston by 8.09 train from
Concord returning by 5.05 train
from Arlington driving to & from Concord.
  Met Arthur & J.K. Lord by appointment
in our office at 10 A.M. We discussed
the Murkland scandal until 11 when
Dr. Murkland came. Prof. Lord told
him in a general way of the evidence
against him. He denied absolutely 
that it had any foundation. We all
said his usefulness to the school was
ended & suggested his resignation at once.
He is to [telegraph?] his decision on Monday.
The interview was most trying for all of us.
I went out to Cambridge at noon & lunched 
with C. [Caroline] & E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons]. Talked with 
C. for about two hours. The only bird 
noted in the Garden was a Red-eye [red-eyed vireo]
in full song. Walked about my Concord
garden for an hour before supper.

Stormy
Third day of north-east storm
with heavy rain but only moderate
wind. River rising fast. Swamp
& water courses full of water.
Spent most of day in farm house
writing letters & cheques for bills.
Walked through Berry Pasture, Ritchie
farm, Pulpit Rock woods & Birch Field
after breakfast. Pulpit Rock woods 
alive with birds. Heard 3 D. vrei[?]s [Dendroica virens]
& 2 D. Blackburnians [Dendroica fusca] there at one time.
No sign of Broad-wings [broad-wing hawks] at nest. They
must have been killed, I fear.
Called on the Howes at 5.30 P.M.
seeing Mr. & Mrs. Howe & one of the sons.
Returning heard a continuous groaning
in our old barn. Got James & Gilbert [Robert Alexander Gilbert] &
entered gun in hand. There was at 
once a great noise & scurrying & out
rushed 3 Gray Squirrels! Never heard
such a noise from them before.
