90º [90 degrees]  Fine
Intensely hot with blazing sun.
A strong S.W. [southwest] wind seemed like

  Gilbert [Robert Alexander Gilbert] & I gathered a lot of
lupine seeds after breakfast
from plants in Pine Park about 
which newspapers were laid in June.
  The heat finally overcame me
& I returned to cabin to sleep
until noon. After dinner I 
went out sailing for an hour &
then went to Farm via Davis Hill
returning about 7 via Holden Hill.
Davis Hill hard hit by gypsy
caterpillars [gypsy moth caterpillars].They are still healthy
there but elsewhere the "wilt" has
raged. In the woods east of Ritchie's 
place I could not find any about.
Saw a medium sized doe. She
ran past me at Farm orchard.
