Ther [Thermometer] Saturday, Feb. 27, 1915 [ February 27, 1915] Wea [Weather]
Fine
A harsh day, clear & cold
with raging northwest wind.
  Garden Birds: only a Flicker
and a few house sparrows.
  Despite an aching head and a
bad throat I kept at work
all day in Museum compiling
four pages for Kingbird story
and also making some progress
with the introductory matter
needed to complete it.
I seem to write more easily
now than earlier in the
winter but little if any better,
it is to be feared.
  We spent the evening in
the “Huggermugger” because it
was warmer & less draughty
than the hall which we
commonly frequent. E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] read
war news, C. [Caroline Brewster] played solitaire.
I worked the Victrola.

Fine.
Clear & cool with northwest
wind less harsh & violent than
that of yesterday.
  The only birds noted about
the place were a few House Sparrows.
  My throat cold increasingly
troublesome and oppressive yet
not sufficiently so to prevent
me from getting out to the
museum where I wasted most
of day in vain attempts to
complete the introductory part
of Kingbird story. Although
it should have been written
in half an hour the end was
not reached when I finally
laid it aside at 6 p.m.
  Alice Stone our only guest
at dinner. We had some Victrola
music after it and more this
evening, chiefly Gluck records.
