Cambridge - Concord.
Ther [Thermometer] TUES. AUG. 26, 1913 [Tuesday, August 26, 1913] Wea [Weather]
Fine
Clear & warm with fresh & cool
westerly wind.
  Our Garden seemed to me
more beautiful this morning than
any I have seen elsewhere this
summer, even in Lenox. The
portulaca bed especially fine &
like a band of big glowing gems.
  Went over some of the Estate
houses with Darling after breakfast.
Spent forenoon in preparations
for going to Concord & in putting
things away. Lunched alone
on back piazza & with Gilbert [Robert Alexander Gilbert]
took train at 2.08 at No. Camb. [North Cambridge]
Junction for W. Bedford. Left
things in cabin & walked to
Farm. Delicious peaches there.
Fearful drought. Everything shrunken
& wilted. Flock of 75+ Swallows
(mostly Barn) flying about B.H. [Ball's Hill] at evening.

Gilbert taken to hospital.                Fair
  Partly sunny, largely cloudy with
sultry air & thunder showers hovering
about at no great distance.
  Zeph & Tom came down to work
at Ball's Hill. We spent most of
forenoon water flower beds with the
big sewer pump. Gilbert returned
from Concord at 10 feeling ill. By
3 P.M. he was suffering so that I
sent for Dr. Drown who said he had
acute intestinal indigestion & advised
taking him to hospital. This we did
in the doctors automobile, after I had
hurriedly changed clothes & thrown a 
few things into a hand bag. After
leaving Gilbert I took a room at
Colonial & then motored with the
Melvins to Carlisle to call on the
Robbinses stopping for a few minutes
at the Farm on way back.
