Concord, Cambridge.
Ther. [Thermometer] MON. [Monday] JULY 25, 1910 Wea. [Weather] 
90 [degrees] Fine
Another sunny, intensely hot &
oppressively sultry day to the discomfort
of which a succession of thunder showers
at evening brought a little or no relief.
The early morning was heavenly at
the cabin but I left there at 7.30
& after getting a few fine water lilies
took the 8.14 train for Cambridge.
Found C. [Caroline Brewster] at her type writer in
the Museum. We worked until
dinner time. After dinner she
finished reading to me the De Willoughby
Claim, a powerful story, and in
the evening she began another story.
In the afternoon I wrote letters
& cheques for bills. The Garden
was very silent all day. I cannot
recall hearing any bird sing. There
were a number of Robins, some of
them spotted young.

Ther. [Thermometer] TUES. [Tuesday] JULY 26, 1910 Wea. [Weather]
80 [degrees] Fine
  (Night Heron heard at evening)
Clear and cooler with fresh N.W. [Northwest] 
wind. A beautiful & perfectly comfortable day.
  C. worked in the Museum through
forenoon, I all day long. I have
abandoned the introduction for the present
& began on the main bird matter
with Holboell's Grebe. It gave me much
trouble but I have it down to-night.
C. & I took all three meals on the 
back piazza. It was delightful
there with bright sunlight flooding
the garden & butterflies appearing &
disappearing among the lilacs. No birds
singing today except a Red-eye & a 
Goldfinch. As I was writing in the
Museum at 8 P.M. I heard for the first
time in years (4 or 5 at least) the hoarse
quawk of a Night Heron. It was very
loud & near at hand & was given thrice.
The bird seemed to be flying low over
the Garden towards the south east.
