  Clear & very cold with light northerly

  In Garden: a Jay heard, half-a-dozen

  Worked all day on Log Cock story.

  Walter Faxon came at 11 A.M.
bringing some birds from old Boston
Museum collection to compare with skins in
mine. Two Pinnated Grouse which he
thought might be Heath Hens proved to
be Prarie Chickens. A small Shrike is
probably of Old World origin although
labelled "N.A." Faxon examined my
Glossy Ibis from Bos. Mus. Coll. [Boston Museum Collection] with
critical interest.
  Neighbor & tenant Bruce called this
evening to pay his rent (overdue 6 months).
He stayed an hour. We talked chiefly
about books & literary composition.

  C. [Caroline Brewster] went to early service along
getting back soon after 10 A.M.
Shortly before that I was about to
begin writing letters in Museum when,
to my surprise, Dr. & Mrs. Gehring
with Mr. Upson knocked at the door
& then walked in. C., it seems, had
arranged for their coming before she went
to church. They stayed about an hour &
I showed Upson some of my birds.
We all made a short call on the
Blackwells. The Misses Jennie & Emily
Chapman, with Miss Allyn, dined with
us at 1.30 & listened to Victrola
music afterwards. More [of] it, with some
Crawford, this morning.
