Ther. [Thermometer] THURS. [Thursday] DEC. 8, 1910 [December 8, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
Fine.
Clear, calm, rather cold but not chilly
  To Boston at 9.30 A.M.
Went directly to our office where
I met Judge Abbott by appointment.
With Arthur & Mackintire I held a 
meeting of the Executive Committee to
consider Abbott's proposal that we no
longer permit the Principal of the School
to be a Trustee ex-officio. To change this
will require an act of N.H. Legislature [New Hampshire Legislature]. We
finally voted to refer the matter to our full
board at its meeting next June. I then
called on Tom Motley in his office. He is
very patient & reasonable about the water
trouble at Ritchie place. I took copy of its
analysis to ask doctors about.
Lunched at Bunch O'Grapes. Next went
to Safety Vaults my first visit to their new
building on Franklin Street. Next to Maculler's
then to Butterfields, then to antique stores,
finally out home (3.30) C. [Caroline Brewster] read to me
in the evening.
[margin]Larry went to dog hospital to-day because of 
mysterious wound in his neck. We first noticed
it last night.[/margin]
Cambridge
Ther. [Thermometer] FRI. [Friday] DEC. 9, 1910 [December 9, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
Fine
Clear & cold with fresh W. [west] wind.
We have had solid winter weather
for a week or more now. It is 
good sleighing in Cambridge streets. 
Few birds about our place. I
heard only a Downy & a Blue Jay
there to-day. Yesterday I saw
a Downy & heard a White bellied
Nuthatch, in Mercer Circle.
  Spent the whole of to-day
in Museum working on Umbagog
introduction. Tried to write some
new matter for it but accomplished
little worth the while. C. [Caroline Brewster] worked 
all forenoon in big room copying
some of the old-written sheets.
The doctor who has charge of Larry
telephoned that he was certainly shot
&  that he has found where the bullet
emerged as well as entered.
C. read to me in the evening.
