Ther. [Thermometer] WED. [Wednesday] AUG. 24, 1910 [August 24, 1910] WEA. [Weather]
Fair
  Sunny but partly cloudy & very hazy.
Uncomfortably warm & humid
with moist S. [South] wind.
  I spent the entire day working
on the Introduction, C. [Caroline Brewster] type writing
through the forenoon. No one called.
  Two adult [male] Red-eyes sang for
half an hour or more in early morning
when I also heard a Rose br.  Grosbeak [rose-breasted grosbeak] 
utter the clicking notes several times
apparently in the lilacs. As we were
eating luncheon on the back piazza
we saw a Redstart & a Mniotilta &
an Oven bird in the lilacs. They all
come very near us showing no fear.
  At 6.45 P.M. C., E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] & I went to
dine at the Deanes'. Only Walter &
Margie there. We stayed until 9.30 &
I had a good time.

Ther. [Thermometer] THURS. [Thursday] AUG. 25, 1910 [August 25, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
Fair
[delete]Cloudy[/delete] Sunny but hazy with light south wind. Oppressively
warm & humid, indeed one of the most
trying days of the summer.
  I worked all day at my writing &
C. [Caroline Brewster] all the forenoon. It was our last whack
at for many a day as I reflected rather
sadly when I put the manuscript away
this evening. We cannot tell just how
much we have added to it since July 1
as many of the new pages have been interpolated
with the old but the former cannot be
less than one hundred in number I
should say while their quality is certainly
not inferior to the earlier ones. We read
in the hall this evening from Joseph Vance.
Walter came down this morning to see a sunflower.
A Red-eye in full song early in morning &
a Goldfinch later. A Redstart in Garden.
Tree crickets chirping at 165 beats to the
minute this evening. I never knew them so
fast before, I think.
