Ther. [Thermometer] Wed. [Wednesday] July 13,1910 Wea. [Weather] 
89 [degrees] Fair
Sunny most of day but with heavy
clouds & rain from 1 to 2 P.M. very
humid & sultry.
  C. [Caroline Brewster] & I spent the forenoon at our
accustomed task in the Museum.
  I wrote letters most of the 
afternoon among them one to 
Harthorne accepting his resignation.
In the evening C. & I took a short 
walk with Larry seeing a firefly
in Brewster street. I have seen none
in our garden as yet although they
have frequented it within two or 
three years in small numbers. We 
still have a very few Toads there & 
plenty of their tadpoles in the pond. 
Our toads are all americanus but 
those singing in the Ross's in pond are fowleri 
I heard a Cicada frying yesterday 
for the first time this year.

Cambridge
Ther [Thermometer] Thurs. [Thursday] July. 14, 1910 Wea. [Weather] 
Fine.
Brilliantly clear very warm but the
air dry & not oppressive.
  C. [Caroline Brewster] & I worked in the Museum 
through the forenoon. She copied 
some field notes from my journal.
I composed two or three pages of M.S. [manuscript]
for the Introduction. I continued 
to work on in through most of the 
afternoon. Kate Horsford & Mary 
& George Deane took tea with us 
on the back piazza. George says 
a pair of Kingbirds have been seen 
in his grounds almost daily for 
three or four weeks. He thinks they 
have a nest in the Wyman place.
There is also a Wood Pewee there. & 
has been for weeks. This accounts for
recent visits of both species to our 
Garden.
