C.[Caroline] copy M.S. as usual. I 
am now writing about the big
trees of the region, using 
field notes taken in Aug. 1908 [August 1908].
  Wrote letters in afternoon.
  C. read to me in the evening
from "[?] Vaner" a rather
amusing story.
  There were but few birds in 
the Garden to-day. I saw
3 Cedar Birds [cedar waxwings] circling over
it and heard a Goldfinch in
full song in the birch grove. These
are all I remember noting.
Tree Crickets in great form this evening.

Fine
Clear & cool with light easterly winds.
  C. & I worked in the 
Museum all the forenoon on
Umbagog M.S. I did very little
in the afternoon, not feeling well.
The bladder trouble has been rampant
of late & especially bad to-day.
Purdie [Henry A. Purdie] came out to supper &
to spend the night. C. sat with
us in the front hall up to 9 o'clock.
She read aloud from the Transcript
& we talked. Purdie & I talked
& smoked in the den for an
hour or so later.
There were a lot of Robins in the
Garden to-day, one young bird having
almost white under parts. I saw a
Black & White Creeper there & a young Red eye [red-eye vireo]
just from the nest. A Goldfinch in 
full song. An Oriole singing feebly.
