Edith Dana died at Manchester. Fair
Cloudy, calm, very cool. Heavy
showers (without thunder) in P.M.
  Robins singing gloriously through whole
day. Rarely have I heard such a 
wondrous concert by them in day time.
Three [males] almost constantly engaged near
house in P.M. Besides these a flock of 12,
mostly young, gathered about puddles in road.
At evening the song of the Hermit [Hermit Thrush] on our
mountain ridge come distinctly to my ears.
A Wood Thrush singing behind studio at
the same time. Down the road a [male]
House Wren sang among Henry Warner's sheds
and further on I saw 2 more Wrens in 
a roadside thicket. A brood of young Orioles
with their mother and another of Catbirds
have haunted the mulberry & apple trees in
flower garden ever since July 1. I never
see them elsewhere - not even 100 yds [yards] away.
  Spent most of day in room writing
letters. Walked down road as far as Snier's
in late P.M. Calling at Mrs. Warner's to enjoy 
her beautiful flowers. Her daughter Mrs. 
O'Toul there. Our family spent evening in 
studio playing Victrola music

Glendale.
Ther [Thermometer] Thursday, July 22, 1915 Wea [Weather] 
Clear and cool with light N.W. [northwest] wind.
  More wondrously clear & fervent singing
of Robins especially during an interval
of cool cloudiness in forenoon and again
at sunset when a Wood Thrush, also, sang.
Red-eyes [Red-eyed Vireo] & Chippies [Chipping Sparrow] sang all day long, as
usual. So also, did an Indigo bird. In
late P.M. I heard a Field Sparrow & a
Yellow-rump Warbler [Yellow-rumped Warbler] sing once. Most of
the Warblers have been nearly or quite
silent for a week or more.
  Spent day in room writing letters
and beginning a resume of spring bird
notes at Concord. My Boston Advertiser
arriving at evening, brought the sad
but not unexpected news of Edith Dana's 
death which occurred at Manchester,
yesterday. I telegraphed a "night letter"
to Dick [Richard Henry Dana] expressing sympathy and offering
to "return to Cambridge at once if I could
be of any possible help or comfort"
We spent most of evening in studio with
Victrola playing.
