C. [Caroline Brewster] went to Appleton Chapel this
morning to hear Dr. Grenfell preach.
I had planned to go with her, but
I awoke tired & coughing with a
sore chest, so I gave it up &
spent the forenoon in Museum writing.
  We had at dinner Mr. & Mrs. J.K. Lord
of Hanover, Charles & Nelly Almy
& Alice Allyn. Everyone talked like 
mad & it seemed to go well.
I took the Lords to the Museum
after dinner & showed them a
lot of birds, eggs etc. They & the
Almys departed about 4 P.M.
  Tom Motley called me by telephone
to night to say that the analysis 
of the Ritchie place well is very
unsatisfactory. The chemist says the
water is polluted by manure drainage
& not fit to drink.
