Stormy
Raining very heavily all day long
and well into following night. Pools &
rivulets everywhere, city gutters running
brimfull or over. Altogether the biggest
rainfall for many a week.
  In Garden: No birds seen or heard.
  Spent entire day in Museum working
on Sapsucker story. Revised type copied
pp. [pages] in A.M. Composed something over
a page of fresh matter in P.M.
So it drags - or is dragged - along
at snail's pace and not good for
much, anyway, I fear me.
  Sally Dearborn lunched with us
and I played Victrola music to
her afterward. Some new records
came by last mail delivery & we
tried them this evening. Shall keep 4
& return same number. Two of former
by Gluck & Homer, very good - also 
one by Hinkle.

Ther [Thermometer] Wednesday, Jan. 13, 1915 [January 13, 1915] Wea [Weather]
Stormy
Ground again covered with snow,
to depth of 4 or 5 inches. It came
mostly after daybreak this morning,
as a wind-up of the terrific north-
east storm that raged all last night
reaching its maximum of wind force
& water precipitation about midnight
when I was awakened by the howling
of the gale about our house. The papers
report wind blowing 70 miles an hour
along the Mass. [Massachusetts] coast and rainfall of
more than 2 inches within past 24
hours in and about Boston.
Altogether the heaviest coastwise storm,
they say, for many a year.
 In Garden: a Jay & a Flicker heard.
  Wrestled with Sapsucker story all day
long but advanced it scarce more than
a single page & the added matter
reads drearily enough.
  Gilbert [Robert A. Gilbert] brought out a lot more Victor
records. We played about a dozen this
evening & found several acceptable.
