C. [Caroline Brewster] & I took around some

calling on the Cobb-Fullers &
on the Coolidges. Dr. Coolidge,

almost running down the stairs
to greet us.
  We had a broken evening.
C. was used up & went to bed.

Ther. [Thermometer] Fri. [Friday] Dec. 23, 1910 [December 23, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
10 [degrees] Fair
Forenoon sunny; afternoon cloudy.
  C. [Caroline Brewster] & I left our house at 9 A.M. to 
take 10.03 train over Shore Line
for New York which we reached
about 4.30 P.M. The snow grew
less & less as we got into Conn. [Connecticut]
and when we reached the shore
of the Sound we found the fields
largely bare while here in New York
there is no snow whatever.
  We found Miss Ireland in our
car and dined with her in the
dining car. C. & I read and
dozed most of the way. I saw
no birds save a few Gulls & Crows.
and a flock of over 600 black birds
which I took to be Starlings (near New Haven).
We are at the Murray Hill in our
old rooms 225 & 227.
