Fine
Clear & cool with light N.E. [northeast] wind.
To Boston by 6.40 A.M. train.
Went straight to White Star Line dock
where I was told I must go to the
Custom House for a permit. Arrived
there at 8 to learn they did not open
until 9 when I got my permit.
Mrs. R.H. Dana got one, too, & we
then went together to the dock she to
meet her son I to meet Will & Alice
Stone. The Cymric had landed her passengers
when we arrived. I found the Stones with
their baggage which was not passed until 11
when I went to our office. Lunched at
"Bunch O' Grapes" where I reproved a young
man for swearing. Next to Wilkinson's where
I bought some hardware. Will Stone met me
at North Station where we took 1.51
train for Concord. Jim Melvin came to 
cabin soon after we reached it. I took W [Will]
to Sleepy Hollow where we saw the 
memorials in a perfect light. We spent
evening in cabin talking.
[margin]Jim brought me a Sharp Tail [sharp-tailed grouse] from Daviston. We had it for supper
& it was delicious.[/margin]

Ther. [Thermometer] FRI. SEPT. 30, 1910 [Friday, September 30, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
34º [34 degrees]  Fine
Brilliantly clear with light westerly
winds. Warm at noon. Killing frost
in low places last night.
  Will Stone & I walked to the
Farm this forenoon. We started two 
Partridges & saw a Hairy Woodpecker,
about a dozen Black-polls [Blackpoll warblers] and 2
Towhees, the last named near the
Barrett barn. When we came down
to breakfast at 6.30 this morning
at least two Pheasants were crowing
answering one another. The fog was
just breaking away at that time &
the river & meadows were charming.
Will took the 12.44 train back to Boston.
I worked with James & Harry on interior
fitting of canoe vault all P.M. At 5
I went to Pine Park & pruned pines.
Harry & I followed a Skunk about with a
lantern at 7.30 P.M. It finally entered the
river & swam several yards.
