Concord.
Ther. [Thermometer] Wed. [Wednesday] Sept. 7, 1910 [September 7, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
Fine
Clear & warm with light
westerly wind. A summer day.
  Bensen came down early to
say he could not work because
of a sore hand. It looks very
badly. I urged him to see a
doctor at once. Pat worked
with the masons & Harry helped
them much of his time. They
finished the walls of the canoe
vault & began on the roof.
I watched them most of
my time, having nothing else to
do. In the early morning (6 -
7.30) a Phoebee [Phoebe] sang almost
continuously near the cabin.
At 6.30 I saw a Fish Hawk
flying south. At noon a rather 
large mixed flock came about the cabin.

Concord.
Ther. [Thermometer] Thurs. [Thursday] Sept. 8, 1910 [September 8, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
Fine
Clear & cool with light S.E. [southeast] wind. 
I spent entire day at Ball's Hill
superintending the work on the
canoe vault. Michael brought two
more men this morning so that
3 masons & 2 helpers were engaged
on the task of completing a piece
of work which has dragged most
vexatiously ever since it was begun
by the digging of the pit a year ago.
But at length it is finished save
for concreting the floor & putting in
a door. We ran short of both
cement & bricks this forenoon & Harry
had to go to Concord for the latter.
  Very few birds about except a
lot of Chickadees. Our Phoebe was
in full song again this morning.
i walked to Pine Park at sunset.
