Fine
Clear & cool with high N.W. [northwest] wind.
  As I looked out of my window
over the valley of Rock Creek this
morning I was surprized to find that
its oak and beech woods were still
covered with foliage the prevailing
tints of which were old gold & rich
golden russet with a widespread 
suggestion of olive. A few trees were
still as green as in midsummer.
Altogether this country looks much as it
did about Concord a month ago.
  Henry & I spent entire forenoon in
the Zoo which I found even better than
ever and keenly enjoyed. The 5 Trumpeter Swans
still living & in the pond by Rock Creek. 
  We lunched at [?Coseurs] meeting Sage
& Palmer there. At 3 P.M. we called
on Nelson & his mother in their rooms
At 6 we were at the Merriams where we 
supped with [Hart?] [?], [?] &
[?]. Home at 9 P.M.
