Dull.
Cloudy & cool with east wind
which brought rain at evening.
  C. [Caroline] & I worked in the Museum
through the forenoon. In the
afternoon I wrote letters, one to
Arthur T. Wayne in acknowledgement
of an autograph copy of his "Birds
of South Carolina["] which reached 
me from him this morning.
I am greatly pleased with it &
told him so in my letter. Also
I wrote to Allen (J.A.) enclosing
a blank nominating Thayer for
Fellow in the A.O.U. [American Ornithologists Union] & asking
him to join with me in signing it
I have been laying out a walk
through our Jungle & George has made
it very neatly & quickly. No
migrants noted in Garden to-day.

Ther. [Thermometer] THURS. AUG. 11, 1910 [Thursday, August 11, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
Fair
Partly sunny, partly cloudy with
heavy thunder showers at evening. Cool.
  C. [Caroline] & I spent the forenoon in our
usual manner and I worked at
my writing most of the afternoon also.
I enjoy it intensely despite the strain
in [it] brings on brain & nerves. The only
drawback is that it tempts me to
neglect my letter writing & other routine
work which I put off from day
to day. I simply cannot let my
pile of M.S. alone whenever I go to
the Museum. It is growing steadily.
We had guests at supper this evening.
Miss White, Harry & Alice Bartlett
& Lois Howe. We began supper on the
piazza but the rain drove us in.
  Our guests left in a body at 9.30.
  No migrants in Garden to-day.
