Ther [Thermometer] WED. JAN. 8, 1913 [Wednesday, January 8, 1913] Wea [Weather]
Stormy
Dark cloudy with incessant
fine rain freezing as it struck.
The trees present a beautiful aspect
being, like everything else, thickly 
encased in clear ice. Of course
the streets & sidewalks are most
dangerously slippery.

  Heard a Chickadee & a Downy [downy woodpecker] in
the Garden. Not a single Sparrow seen.

  Spent day in Museum writing
letters & revising M.S. in A.M.,
adding 2 pp. [2 pages] to Woodcock story
in P.M.  No one comes to
see me through the week this
winter so I have my writing
twice almost unbroken.
C.[Caroline] & E. read aloud in hall this eve.

12 [12 degrees]        Fine
  Clear & cold with light westerly
wind. Trees bejeweled with ice
glittering in the bright sunshine.

  A White-throated Sparrow &
a Blue Jay in the Garden. Only
two or three House Sparrows there.

  Spent day in Museum working
on Woodcock story and writing
four pp. [four pages] largely copied, however,
from journal & note book. 
C. type copying all forenoon.

  The Melvins & Harlows
dined with us at 7 and spent
the evening, departing at 10.20.

"Cheerie" to Constance Fuller who
is to take him on the 20th.
