82 [degrees]  Fine
Clear & hot with strong S.W. wind.
A midsummer-like day.
  The red maples are past the prime
of their autumn coloring & many have
shed most of their leaves. The hickories
are still making a fine show, as 
are the high blueberries. Oaks still green.
 Altogether the foliage is fine this year.
  A small mixed flock in the woods
behind Ball's Hill this morning
contained 1 typical Dend. palmarum [Dendroica palmarum] 
& a Solitary Vireo in full song besides
ten or a dozen black polls & Yellow rumps.
  Spent most of day working on the 
canoe vault with James. Harry began
a lumber rack in horse shed. I
rode to the Farm with the men at
4.30 & walked back in twilight
hearing a Screech Owl in Birch field.
Gilbert went to Cambridge in P.M.
to look up missing box of bulbs.

  Gilbert & I with "Larry" took 8.14
train for Cambridge. Spent most of
day in Museum. Faxon & Tyler called in 
forenoon to look up references & examine
my series of hybrid Warblers again.
E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] was in the house when I arrived.
C. [Caroline Brewster] returned from Boston about noon.
Gilbert, George & I spent three hours in
cellar potting the winter bulbs - about 1000
of them. George has been drinking 
lately & I had a frank talk with him
about it. He admitted it at once & was
very nearly about it promising to drop it.
Returned to Concord by 5.03 train
from Arlington. Gilbert missed it & I
reached the cabin alone about dark.
