20 [degrees] & 35 [degrees] Fair
Partly sunny, largely hazy, calm

As so often happens where a calm &
mild day succeeds several cold ones
there were a number of birds in 
the Garden. At 1 P.M. I saw, in the
trees between the Museum & house, all
at one time 4 Chickadees, 1 Blue Jay,
2 White-bellied Nathatches [male] & [female], &
2 Downy Woodpeckers [male] & [female]. 
Miss Bishop tells me she saw 5 
Jays together in the Garden last week.
  I called on Mr. Bruce just after
breakfast to discuss his furnace trouble.
Faxon called on us at 11 staying
about an hour & bringing back some
borrowed birds & books. I spent whole
day in Museum writing letters. Came
 in at 5 P.M. for afternoon tea with
C's [Caroline Brewster's] reading class. C. herself missed it
by reason of a headache.

copying what I wrote. The proof
