  Hearing last night that Edith Dana

shortly after breakfast this morning, 
seeing only young Dick who said that
his mother had had a reasonably
good night and was better, they thought.
Dean Hodges came when I was there.
Met Harry Spelman at entrance gate.

Ther [Thermometer] Sunday, Jan. 17, 1915 [January 17, 1915] Wea [Weather]
Dull
Dark cloudy with light rain falling in
afternoon & evening. Chilly, with E. [east] wind.
  In Garden: 2 Jays flitting through
trees in Jungle; 8 or 10 House Sparrows
in lilacs; Downy [Downy Woodpecker] heard.
  Immediately after breakfast I walked
down to the Dana's where I saw Dick
and his daughter Frances, Mrs. Dana
had passed a comfortable night & was
decidedly better. I saw 2 Starlings in
the elm in front of the Thorpes & pointed
them out to Dick. One of them was
singing, softly at times.
  Having many letters to write I did not 
go to church but returned to Museum
& dealt with some of the more
important ones before dinner. We had
as guests - besides Miss Allyn - Mr. Leverett
& Joe & Mrs. Russell. All remained until
4 P.M. when the Russells & Miss Allyn left.
After that I played the Victrola for Mr. L. [Leverett].
We had more of its music this eve. [evening].
