Ther [Thermometer] Friday, July 9, 1915 Wea [Weather]
72 [degrees] max. [maximum] Perfect
Brilliantly clear with light westerly
wind & soft, yet bracing air. Lights &
shadows on mountains, woods & fields very
beautiful especially towards sunset.
  Bird songs obviously beginning to decline
generally within the past few days.
The Red-eye [Red-eyed Vireo] still vocal at all hours
but the Wood Thrush & the Robin are
fast lapsing into silence.
  Spent most of day in chambers reading
& writing letters. Mrs. French "at home"
4-6 P.M. About a dozen people came 
two parties of them in horse-drawn
carriages. Among them were Mrs. Barlow,
cousin of Alex Agassiz [Alexander Agassiz], and her
friend Miss Susie Robbins who was
formerly, she told me, an intimate
friend of C.'s [Caroline Brewster]. I found her very agreeable
and took her all about the place
which she evidently admired greatly.
Mrs. Clark & her daughter Sarita,
arrived. We spent evening in parlor.

Ther [Thermometer] Saturday, July 10, 1915 Wea [Weather]
80 [degrees] max [maximum] Fine
Sunny but hazy with "mare's tails" gathering
in late P.M. Warm.. Light S.W. [southwest] wind.
  Robins singing rather freely and
Wood Thrushes (2 of them) divinely, towards
sunset. Red-eyes [Red-eyed Vireo] heard at it all day.
  Spent forenoon in room writing
letters. Leaving the studio at 4 P.M.
Dan [Daniel Chester French] & I climbed to the summit
of his mountain ridge where we
spent upwards of two hours sitting
on the bench at the "Outlook". It
was delightfully serene and restful
there with the warm southerly
wind sweeping past & birds
singing far & near. A Yellow rump
Warbler [Yellow-rumped Warbler] flitted close about us &
Cedar birds flew more swiftly to & fro
alighting in dead tree tops. Barn Swallows
& Swifts constantly in sight. Once
3 Bank Swallows passed. The roaring of
the river rapids fell on our ears
interruptedly like the rate of surf on a sea
beach. We spent a family evening in parlor.
