Fair
Chiefly cloudy with two brisk
showers. Rather warm & exceedingly
humid. Altogether a most trying day.
  C. [Caroline Brewster] & I worked all forenoon in Museum.
I am doing better now & the M.S. [manuscript]
is picking up. I am still engaged
with the subject of migration at the
Lake. Started for Boston at 1.30
to attend meeting of Audubon Soc. [Audubon Society] Directors
at Nat. Hist. [Natural History] rooms. President Robbins,
Miss Hall, Miss Richard & Miss Kimball
a bare quorum. We discussed report
of committee on Secretary. Miss Kimball
will be returned at her present salary.
Much was said about Baynes. I
expressed some disapproval of his methods
to which all the others seemed to agree.
Maynard also discussed. I got home
at 4.30 & met Mackintire at 7 Reidesel St. 
He introduced me to Mr. & Mrs. Adams, our
new tenants. We discussed new paint, paper etc.
I liked them the Adams people.

Ther. [Thermometer] Fri. [Friday] Aug. 5, 1910 [August 5, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
Fine
Clear & cool with fresh N.W. [Northwest] wind.
C. [Caroline Brewster] & I spent forenoon at our
usual task. In the afternoon Faxon
& Tyler came to look over my
hybrid Warblers. They stayed over an
hour & we had a fine talk. Faxon
brought me as a gift the nest of
H. leucobronchialis [Helminthophila leucobronchialis] the I saw in situ
in Lexington on June 9th last.
  C., E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons], & I went to the College
grounds on Quincy Street this
evening to see the Greek play "Electra"
given in the open air under some
big oaks. It was exceedingly 
impressive and finely acted throughout.
The part of "Electra" was especially well
taken. Almost if not quite every seat filled.
We walked back getting home at 10.30.
Saw one fire fly and heard two migrating
Warblers as the play was going on.
