81º [81 degrees]   Fine
Clear & comfortably cool with
light easterly breezes.
  Spent most of day in my
room, at the accustomed task,
accomplishing nothing worth the
while. Heard Robins, Red eyes [Red-eyed vireos],
Chippins [Chipping Sparrows] & a Song Sparrow
singing well in early morn [morning]
& fitfully later.
  At 6 P.M. Dan & I motored to
West Stockbridge & thence to a
hill top which commands a 
wonderful view of the "Berkshires"
with Gray back in plain view to
the north & the Bowl to the S [south].
Returning by another road we met 
Mrs. F. [Mrs. French] at Stockbridge & brought
her home. Wild bergamot in
[margin] full bloom along W. [West] Stockbridge roadsides being there for miles.[/margin]

Ther [Thermometer] FRI. AUG.1, 1913 [Friday, August 1, 1913] Wea [Weather]
Mixed
Forenoon cloudy & cool with
light rain at intervals & occasionally
a peal of thunder. Afternoon
sunny & warm.
  Robins, Red-eyes, Chippins [Chipping Sparrows] &
Song Sparrows continue to sing
near the house in early morn
& more or less freely later in
the day, especially after 4 P.M.
  Working in my room through
forenoon & part of afternoon on
the Introduction. What I have
been trying to add to it is
moving ahead at last but not
really well. Evidently it is
useless to attempt such work
away from my library etc.
  Mrs. F's [Mrs. French's] Friday afternoon tea attended by
8 or 10 people mostly ladies. Albert Fletcher 
arrived from Boston this noon.
