Ther [Thermometer] SUN. JULY 6, 1913 [Sunday, July 6, 1913] Wea [Weather]
Fine
Clear & suffocatingly hot with,
however, a cool N. [north] wind at evening.
C. & I went in town to St. Paul's
church at 10.30. There was wondrous
beautiful music, a short sermon &
then communion service when I 
left C. in the suffocating church &
went to the Parker House where
she & E.R.S. rejoined me at 12.50.
We dined at 1 in the smaller
room kept comfortable by the action
of abundant electric fans. At 2.15
we went in taxicab to South Station 
whence C. & E. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] left by 3 P.M. train
for Lyme. Before it started the
cars were like heated ovens. The
subway was pleasantly cool as I
came out alone through it [?] Wrote
letters 4 - 6.30 P.M. Supped alone
Called on Blackwell at 8 P.M.
