Fair
Light cloudy, calm, mild
  Garden birds. Looking out from
our bathroom window at 8 A.M.
I counted nine Blue Jays on 
wing, flying westward over the
garden & following one another in 
such unbroken succession that
all may be said to have been
moving together in a straggling flock.
A Flicker was seen later; also a
dozen or more House Sparrows.
  Attempting to revise the introductory
part of Chimney Swift story a 
little I fussed over it all day
rewriting most of it and adding
some new matter here & there,
thereby improving it I trust.
  Sally Dearborn lunched with us.
E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] departed for Springfield at 3.
C. [Caroline Brewster] & I were beginning a Victrola
concert after supper when Charlie
Lamb dropped in. He stayed over  an
hour & was very entertaining.

Dull
Cloudy & showery with warm
south-west wind.
  Garden birds: An unseen Purple
Finch warbling softly in or near
Parkmann apple tree: also a few
House Sparrows.
  Worked most of forenoon on
revision of Swift story. Began
on Hummingbird about noon
and wrote four pages before
6 P.M. compiling the matter
from journal notes. Walter Deane
called for me at 6.15 and we
went in town together to "We Dine"
meeting at Jackson's where we
had as usual, a delightful time.
The talk related largely to
The Great War, of course. There
is no difference of opinion
among us with respect to it.
