Ther [Thermometer] TUES. JULY 29, 1913 [Tuesday, July 29, 1913] Wea [Weather]
88 [88 degrees]        Fine
Clear & uncomfortably warm
with scarce a breath of air
stirring.
  Birds silent for the most
part but Robins, Red-eyes [Red-eyed Vireos] 
& Chippins [Chipping Sparrows] sang well in the
early morning & a Hermit [Hermit Thrush] sent
down a few bars of melody
from his mountain top at evening.
  I worked as usual on 
the Introduction making poor
progress. Ran the phonograph
from 12 to 12.30 to entertain Dan.
At 5 went with him to the
pasture outlook. Wonderful
billowing clouds as solid looking
as icebergs. Sat alone on piazza
through long evening watching heat
lightning & fire flies [fireflies].

Ther [Thermometer] WED. JULY 30, 1913 [Wednesday, July 30, 1913] Wea [Weather]
 Fine.
  Clear & warm with light
westerly wind. 
  Robins, Red-eyes [Red-eyed Vireos], Chippies [Chipping Sparrows] &
Song Sparrows singing well
in early morn [morning]. Woods & fields
silent for most part through day.
A Red-shouldered Hawk soaring
& screaming at 8 A.M. 
  Spent the day writing
letters & trying to add a page
or two to the Introduction [?]
Samuells' & Baileys connection with
early work at Umbagog but
expressing it very badly.
  In late P.M. Dan & I climbed
his little mountain & sat for
an hour on its ridge listening
to a Hermit [Hermit Thrush] in full song there &
to a Field Sparrow below.
