Ther. [Thermometer] SUN. JULY 3, 1910 [Sunday, July 3, 1910]  Wea.[Weather]
Fair
Sunny but densely hazy. Warm with
light east wind.
  Spent most of day in Museum
writing letters. After supper C.[Caroline], E.R.S.[Elizabeth R. Simmons]
& I took a short walk visiting
Mr. Harris's garden where the crimson
& pink rambler roses are in fullest bloom
He was at work there & showed us
everything. He complained bitterly of
the mosquitoes. He attributes their extraordinary
abundance to the change in Charles River
whose waters are said to be now fresh all
the way to Boston. I saw a dragon fly
hovering over the [?] at the foot of
Sparks St. yesterday. This evening the
mosquitos [mosquitoes] in our garden are as bad
as I have ever known them in Maine woods.
Harris says they are driving people from
the houses along Bay State Road, Boston.

Ther. [Thermometer]  MON. JULY 4, 1910 [Monday, July 4, 1910]  Wea. [Weather]
Fine.
  Brilliantly clear with fresh, cool
N.W. [northwest] wind.
  Spent day in Museum opening 
my second class mail which has 
been accumulating here for past 2
months. Skimmed through most 
of it & read a few things carefully.
  Mrs. Cobb & Miss Hoppin took tea
with us on back piazza. At 8
we all went to Washington Court
to see the fireworks from its roof.
Those in direction of Boston &
Somerville were the best. We
got back at 10 & Mrs. Cobb came 
with us as her house is closed.
  Four of the five cherry trees in
the garden are now loaded with ripe
fruit. Only a very few Robins came to 
them. Crows & Orioles came & hosts
of sparrows.
