ad [adult] [male] Whistlers. In Boat house Nook 35
Black Ducks & 1 Red-head (?).
  Gilbert [Robert Alexander Gilbert] motored Mrs. Stone & me around
Fresh Pond at 9 A.M. Lots of wild fowl.
About 30 Black Ducks in Cambridge Nook
allowed us to pass within 30 yds. [30 yards] & several
on rocky shore within 12 ft. [12 feet] They were
mostly in pairs. Gilbert took me there 
again in late P.M. The same birds in
both nooks & a great "bed" near middle.
  Spent most of day in Museum working
on Concord notes & finishing with them.

Stormy
Raining incessantly, & at times very
heavily, all day & into the night. Chill
north-east wind.
Several Chickadees at suet.
Met C.[Caroline] at St. John's at 10.40. Dr. Hodges
gave us an uncommonly fine sermon,
perhaps the best I have ever listened to.
He is a past master of simple, earnest,
terse & vigorous expression, wholly free
from mannerism of any kind & choosing
ever the most fitting words to express
his thoughs [thoughts] with never one too many of them.
  We had at dinner Miss Allyn, the
Cobb-Fuller sisters & the Melvins.
After the last of these had departed
C.s [Caroline's] old friend William Hayward came
(at 4.20) to take tea & spend the
evening. "Sun", the Chow puppy, now
4 mos.[4 months] old, grows more & more winning.
