Fine
Clear, calm, slightly frosty.

Saw a Chickadee & 2 Jays in the
Garden, 2 Gulls flying over it.
Heard the Hudsonian Tit & the 
White-throated Sparrow calling there.

  Three pages of M.S. on Bird's [Baird's] Sandpiper
represent my work to-day. It
ceased at 5.30 when I had to
dress for our "We Dine" at Jeffries'.
Walter & I went in together.
Everybody there except Thaxter &
Barbour. Jeffries gave us some 1796
sherry. Walter, Batchy & I came out
in a taxi at 10 to Pres. Lowell's [President Lowell's]
reception in the new house. It is
like a small palace. Crowds there.
Talked with Mrs. Eliot & many others.
Walked home in calm moonlight
with Walter.

Ther [Thermometer] THURS. JAN. 23, 1913 [Thursday, January 23, 1913] Wea [Weather]
Rainy.
Cloudy & mild with rain falling
most of P.M.

 A Chickadee seen and the 
White throat [White-throated Sparrow] heard in the Garden.
Gray Squirrels have appeared in force
within the past few days & are
very active chasing one another
about with some display of sexual
ardor. I saw very little of them
between Dec. 15 & Jan. 15 & suspect
that they were there mostly in their
holes & partly hibernating. 

  C. [Caroline] copying all forenoon. I worked
on Baird's Sandpiper from 10 A.M. 
to 7 P.M. writing about 3 pp. [3 pages].
  C. took the Chow dog to a boarding
kennel yesterday. She & E. read
from "Oliver Twist" this evening.
