than Miss Allyn. She departed about

staying half an hour. Kennard

his list of food plants for Baynes's
book. We talked it over until
shortly after 5 when he left.
C. went to First Parish church at 7.30.
E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] read Crawford's "Prima Donna"

Ther [Thermometer] Monday, Jan. 25, 1915 [January 25, 1915] Wea [Weather]
Death of Mrs. Edward Wyman. Dull
Sky obscured by dark gray clouds.
Air mild but damp & chilly. Altogether
a rather dreary sort of winter day.
  In Garden: A Crow cawing and a 
Jay screaming. House Sparrows to the
number of six or eight flitting about.
  Spent day in Museum engaged
in the customary task. Advanced
the Log Cock story by some three
or four pages but all this matter
was compiled from my Umbagog
note books and some of it
comparatively little changed.
  E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] started for Springfield by
an afternoon train. C. [Caroline Brewster] & I supped 
together in her morning room.
She was called to the telephone about
7 P.M. that Mrs. Edward Wyman
had died some five minutes before. I 
saw her last Thanksgiving day when
she dined here. Arthur Robbins called
this evening to ask me to write
something for the Transcript about Jim
Melvin. I had to decline.
