Ther. [Thermometer] Tues. [Tuesday] Aug. 2, 1910 [August 2, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
Mixed
Cloudy & sunny by turns with
light thunder shower in P.M. Cool.
  Worked all day (8 hours) on 
two pages of M.S. [manuscript] for the Introduction.
C. [Caroline Brewster] worked all the forenoon at
her "typing". No one came to
see any of us to-day. We
had our meals on back piazza
as usual. Gilbert was absent
having begun his two weeks
vacation this morning.
  To my surprize a Robin was
in full & almost continuous song
in the lindens for almost an hour
this afternoon. The only other
birds heard singing were a Red-eye
and a Goldfinch. The former 
was not in good voice.
Cardinal flower by pond fine now.

Fine
Clear & calm. Rather warm & humid.
  C. [Caroline Brewster] & I worked all the forenoon
at our usual task. At 12.30 I
started for Boston to meet a new
candidate for the position of Principal
of Brewster's Academy, a Mr Haley.
We lunched together at the Athletic
Club. I took to him at first sight
& liked more & more the more
I saw of him. He is a handsome
man of fine presence & simple
refined manners. After we parted
I went to the Boston Soc. N.H. [Boston Society of Natural History] thinking
to attend a meeting of Audubon Soc. [Audubon Society]
Directors, only to learn that to-morrow
is the appointed day. Saw Glover Allen
& Miss Kimball. Got home at 3.30
& wrote until 6. Sally Dearborn took
supper with us & departed at 8.30.
