Concord
Ther. [Thermometer] Sun. [Sunday] Sept. 11, 1910 [September 11, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
Fine.
Brilliantly clear & pleasantly cool
with light S.E. [southeast] wind. A perfect day.
  We went to Farm in forenoon.
Found four of the Motleys with
young Mrs. Motley at Ritchie place.
We spent an hour or more
together going through the woods to
Birch Island & thence to Davis Hill
where I left them & returned to cabin.
  In afternoon went to Concord in
my open canoe sailing about half
the way. Called at Manse where I
saw Sarah, Jack & all three children,
Miss Johnson, Dr. & Mrs. Coggswell.
Mrs. Thayer is better. Next
called at the Buttricks'. Miss Addie
was too ill to see me but I talked
with Miss Hudson. Paddled back
at the sunset hour with the river
& meadows very serene & beautiful.
Very few birds seen all day.

Concord - Cambridge, Boston, Squantum.
Ther. [Thermometer] Mon. [Monday] Sept. 12, 1910 [September 12, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
Aviation. Fine.
Clear & cool with light easterly winds.
  Took 8.14 train for Cambridge where I
spent an hour in Museum & Garden. Thence
to Boston by electrics. Visited office (11-12)
At 12.50 met Walter & Ruthven Deane by
appointment at South Station. We took 1.10
train for Atlantic & electric car thence to
Aviation Field at Squantum where we
remained until 6.30 in the grandstand
watching the aviation. It was my first
experience & it thrilled & delighted me more
than anything I ever saw before.
Grahame-White [Claude Grahame-White] went up soon after we
arrived & later Johnson [Ralph Johnstone], Bookins [Walter Brookins] & Wilbur [Wilbur Wright],
Curtis [Glenn Curtiss] & Wilkins. There were five
bi-planes up at once. The greatest thing
of all was Grahame-White's flight to & around
Boston Light in his monoplane. He did 
not start until after sunset. It was most
wonderful & impressive. This dash seaward
in the gloaming at a-mile a minute speed.
Walter & Ruthven dined with me at Athletic
Club (9 P.M.) I spent night there.
