A Tree Cricket chirping a little, feebly,
at intervals this evening. Margaret
departed, with Mr. Fletcher, for
Kingston this morning. I spent
most of day at my desk making
futile attempts to complete a few
sentences for the Introduction.

a new seat

Robins still singing freely in early
morn [morning] and Chippies [Chipping Sparrows] Red-eyes [Red-eyed Vireos] &

A rather brisk chorus of Tree Crickets
this evening.
  Spent most of forenoon in
pasture with Dan who worked
for upwards of an hour, in the
broiling sun, cutting down saplings
& brush that interfered with the view
from the seat erected yesterday.
Wrote letters after dinner. Starting
at 4.30 Mrs. F.[Mrs. French], Dan & I motored to
Lenox to make a prolongued [prolonged] call
on the Misses Goodman. They live in a 
house built about 100 years ago (by Judge
Walker) abounding in handsome interior 
woodwork & old furniture. Their grounds -
laid out by their late brother - are the
most picturesquely attractive of any I have
yet seen here. Dan left us early to go to N.Y. [New York]
