Cambridge
Ther. [Thermometer] FRI. [Friday] JULY 29, 1910 Wea. [Weather]
Fine
Clear & calm. An uncomfortably
sultry day, not excessively hot but
with the air lifeless & humid. 
  C. [Caroline Brewster] & I worked through the
forenoon in the Museum and I
kept at it all the afternoon, also.
I am at the introduction again
and struggling with the subject
of bird migration at Umbagog.
Never have I found it harder to
say what I want to or to discover
what I want to say.
Mr. Sturgess of Andover called
in the afternoon to discuss the
gypsy moth situation. He is down on
the State Commission & he dislikes &
distrusts Raine but he seems to lack
definite evidence on which to proceed
& I told him so, convincingly, I thought.
C. & E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] read to me through the evening.
[margin]2 Night Herons answering one another at 10 P.M. flying south over our house. Heard
them call a score of times afterwards apparently curling over the river[/margin]

Cambridge - Boston - Concord.
Ther. [Thermometer] SAT. [Saturday] JULY 30, Wea. [Weather]
Mixed.
Sunny at morning & evening. A
very heavy thunder shower at 9.30 - 10.30
A.M. & a lighter one at 4.30 - 5 P.M.
When I started for Boston at 10.45
a torrent of water wider than I could
jump across was rolling down the
gutter in Brattle Street. I was at
our office from 11.30 to 1.30 (with
a short interval for lunch). Saw
Arthur. We decided to pay Kenny
& Bell's bill for $1000. for help &
advice to the Estate & to the towns of
Wolfeboro & Tuftonboro in re the Bassett
matter & the appointment of Butterick.
Mackintire made out & sent the cheque.
Purdie & I took 1.51 train for
Concord to spend Sunday at the cabin.
We had a good walk after supper.
Woods & fields very silent. The only
bird heard singing was a Song Sparrow.
Air fresh & cool. Sultry earlier in day.
