First yellow crocuses Fine
Clear, cool & windy - a rather harsh 
& blustering sort of day. Two yellow
crocus in bloom front of Museum.
Garden birds: 2 Jays, a Crow flying
low, about a dozen House Sparrows.
  Spent most of the day in Museum
working intermittently on the Umbagog
task. Wrote almost three pages of
freshly composed matter, two relating
to Wood Pewee and on the Least Pewee.
 Had to quit work by 4.30 because 
of another attack of neuralgia.
This & depressing weakness induced
me to send for Dr. Jouitt who
came at eight o'clock this evening.
He says I have a form of
grippe which is epidemic hereabouts
and followed usually by conditions
similar to that by which I am
afflicted at present. He advises me
to remain housed for sometime longer.
Miss Henders lunched with us.
E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] read aloud in hall this evening.

Ther [Thermometer] Friday, Mar. 12, 1915 [March 12, 1915] Wea [Weather]
Fine
 Sunny but very windy (N.W [northwest]) and rather
chilly yet not cold. Four yellow crocuses,
several squills and dozens of snow drops
blooming in front of Museum.
 Two screaming Jays and about a dozen
chattering House Sparrows were the
only birds noticed about the place.
 Spent day in Museum working
at accustomed task and making
rather good progress for I wrote
a page about the Horned Lark,
another about Prairie Lark and
a third relating to Olive-sided
Flycatcher, nearly all of this matter
being freshly composed.
 C. [Caroline Brewster] returned from Boston in
time for luncheon. Arthur Bent
called just after it and stayed
about an hour. He had hoped to
do some work on my birds but I
did not feel up to it & told him so.
 C & I had victrola concert this evening.
