South Yarmouth
Ther [Thermometer] SUN. AUG. 24, 1913 [Sunday, August 24, 1913] Wea [Weather]
Fine
Clear & warm with light southerly
wind.
  Spent most of day in or
close about house, writing reading
& talking. We all went to
Mrs. Taylor's at 5.30 for the usual
Sunday evening singing of hymns.
Upwards of thirty people assembled
there but fewer small children 
than of yore. Walked through
Mrs. Donald's garden on our way
back. It is brilliant with a 
profusion of many many-hued flowers.
Mrs. Williston tells me that she
saw a Migrant Shrike on the
golf links here in midsummer a
year or two ago. The green
caterpillars have injured the pitch
pines but little this summer.
South Yarmouth - Boston - Cambridge.

Cool & clear with fresh N.W. [northwest] wind.
  Left the Stones' at 9.15 A.M. in 
the mail wagon and had a "John
Gilpin" ride to the station, Charlie 
Brown running his old horse most
of the way. Just before train came
Lucretia Churchill put a small Wren
boy (nephew of the tennis player) in my
charge & he & I journeyed to Boston
together. Gilbert [Robert Alexander Gilbert] who met me at South
Station said that C. [Caroline] & [Daisy F.?]
then lunching at North Station so I
hurried thither but failed to find them
in lunch room or 1 P.M. Portland train
Went thence to Bunch O' Grapes & thence
to office where I talked with Arthur.
Reached home at 3 P.M. Read a lot
of accumulated letters & did some pruning
in Garden - very lovely now.
