Ther [Thermometer] Monday, Feb. 1, 1915 [February 1, 1915] Wea [Weather]
Stormy
Dark cloudy with rain or sleet
falling ceaselessly. Every exposed surface
of whatever kind coated with clear
ice which loaded trees & shrubbery
almost - but not quite, as yet - to the
breaking point. Altogether a most 
dreary & depressing winter day.
  In Garden saw no birds save a 
few half-drenched House Sparrows.
  Working on Log Cock story still.
Added but little fresh matter,
being chiefly concerned with a
final revision of that written 
last week and type copied to-day
by C. [Caroline Brewster] for the second time. 
  Miss Balch lunched with us.
I played a few Victrola records
for her before returning to my desk.
  Nuttall Club meeting this evening.
Townsend read article on Rock Dove.

Ther [Thermometer] Tuesday, Feb. 2, 1915 [February 2, 1915] Wea [Weather]
8 [degrees] Stormy.
  Dark cloudy and bitterly cold
with easterly wind. Fine, dry snow
falling more or less steadily and
heavily all day long. It packed
so hard that it was difficult to
remove from our walks and where 
left untouched would almost
support my weight. With what has
come before the snow must now
cover the ground to a depth of at
least six or eight inches.
  In Garden: heard a Jay screaming.
Cannot remember any Sparrows.
  Compiling from Umbagog notes
I wrote about three M.S. pages
relating to the Log Cock, thereby
almost completing what I had
intended to say concerning him.
  Spent evening in hall with C. [Caroline Brewster] & E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons]
They read aloud & listened to Victrola.
  I sent $100 to Belgian Relief Committee
& also gave $10.80 for pipes & tobacco for Tommy
Atkins at the war.
