Cambridge - Boston
Ther [Thermometer] FRI. MAR. 7, 1913 [Friday, March 7, 1913] Wea [Weather]
14º [14 degrees],18º [18 degrees]   Fine
Brilliantly clear & bitterly cold
with brisk N.W. [northwest] wind.

  A Jay & a Flicker on the lawn
together. 9 Crows [in a flock] flying over
northward, possibly on migration.

  Worked all day in Museum
on Partridge story making
poor progress. For the revision of
a page written yesterday took all
forenoon & I wrote scarce more
than a page of new matter
in the afternoon.
  Dined alone at 6.30 C. [Caroline] & E. having
gone to their Bee. I went in town at 7.30
to Botanic Club. Fernald talked 2 hours
on Flora of Newfoundland. Fine, of course.

Ther [Thermometer] SAT. MAR. 8, 1913 [Saturday, March 8, 1913] Wea [Weather]
9º [9 degrees]   Fine
Clear & cold moderating a
little towards evening.

  A Blue Jay the only native
bird noted about the place to-day.
At 6.30 P.M. heard thrice the throbbing
love song of a Screech Owl in the Jungle.
  An uncommonly productive
day at the writing. Added 5 pp. [5 pages]
to Partridge story & should have 
done 6 had not Smith Dexter's
brother called in mid afternoon
to spend more than an hour
which I somewhat begrudged
although glad enough to see him.
  Much of what I wrote to-day
was taken almost literally from
Umbagog note books.
  We read aloud in Morning
room after dinner - at least C.& E. did.
