0 [degrees], 18 [degrees] Fine
  Brilliantly clear with light
northerly wind. Coldest day of
winter thus far.
  Garden birds: A chickadee at
suet, a Hairy Woodpecker heard
in Jungle.
  The humiliating drowsiness that
has so affected me for several
weeks past became so overpowering
to-day that I accomplished
nothing in the way of writing
save a three page letter to Dan F. [Daniel Chester French]
I did manage to keep wide
awake at dinner time & for
an hour or more afterwards,
when we had as guests Charlie
& Mrs. Lamb. Sarah Ames
came to see Lizzy [Elizabeth R. Simmons] before they
departed. We had the usual
evening reading.

Ther [Thermometer] Monday, Jan. 13, 1919 [January 13, 1919] Wea [Weather]
15 [degrees], 26 [degrees] Fine
  Clear with slowly rising
temperature. Almost no wind.
  Garden birds. A Chickadee coming
to suet, a Downy [Downy Woodpecker] heard in
Jungle, 2 Starlings seen in
Parkman's apple tree.
  Our Gray Squirrels have not as 
yet shown any signs of hibernating
to which they are commonly given
at just this season. We seem to
have only two both very large & tame.
After eating all the haws on 3 trees
they since have eaten many of the
Parkman apples on which the
Starlings have fed so greedily. 
  Day spent in Museum writing 
letters. Walked up Brattle Street
to Elmwood just after lunch.
At it we had Miss Balch.
E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] read one of closing chapters
of David Copperfield this evening.
