  Dan set all his men to work
this morning on a new path leading
through hemlock woods to the seat
overlooking larch swamp. They
kept at it all day & had it
finished by 5 P.M. I was with 
them much of forenoon as was Dan
part of the time. In late P.M.
he & I walked down the road to
call on Mackintosh whom we
finally found in his back
pasture where I saw a single
plant of Desmodium canadensis  [canadense]
in full bloom. Spent evening in
parlor discussing Abbott Thayer's
"Concealing Coloration" with Dan.
