Fair
Thin cloudy with mild but chilly
air & little or no wind.
  Noticed no birds about the place.
  In A.M. worked on Sapsucker
story revising the pages before, 
as well as after, C. [Caroline Brewster] type-copied
them. Added only a single M.S. [manuscript]
page of freshly-composed matter.
  To Harvard Square at 2 P.M.
Had hair cut at Marks & tried on
new gray suit at Cooperative.
Took 2 Curtis (Indian) photographs to 
Marlow's to be framed. Thence to
Boston, reaching our office about 4.
Stayed there until 5.30 dictating
three letters, one to Sargent, another
to Miss Pride, the third to Mr. Trickery.
home by 6. Miss Bishop & Miss Emily
Howard dined with us at 6.30. The

Ther [Thermometer] Friday, Jan. 15, 1915 [January 15, 1915] Wea [Weather]
Dull.
Darkly lowering clouds and mist-like
rain combined to make the day
a gloomy and depressing one. The
temperature must have been moderately
high for the snow wasted fast &
was nearly all gone by night.
  In Garden: A Jay & a Flicker heard.
Noticed no House Sparrows although some
must have been about.
  Spent a rather profitless day at my
desk in Museum wrestling with
Sapsucker story. The final revision
of sheets already type-written occupied
the entire forenoon. Soon after luncheon
I began to write about the Pileated
Woodpecker thinking that I had in 
mind a promising opening for the
article. It did not materialize,
however, and the whole afternoon
went for nought because thus wasted.
  Miss Mary Henders lunched with us
I gave her some Victrola music.
C. [Caroline Brewster] & E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] away at their Bee this evening.
