Cambridge
Ther [Thermometer] Friday, Jan. 24, 1919 [January 24, 1919] Wea [Weather]
Dull
  Cloudy with high N.W. [northwest] wind &
steadily falling temperature.
Last night mild with very heavy
rain. Our snowless & iceless city
lawns rather bright green again.
  Garden birds: 5 Chickadees
assembled about the suet hanging
by my study window, at 11 A.M.;
no more than one was to be
seen pecking at it at the same
time but each, upon leaving it,
was almost instantly replaced
by another so that it was
never without, its hungry little
bird for fifteen or twenty minutes.
Besides these I noted no other
bird save a Jay heard screaming.
Combined dizziness & nausea
forced me to pass entire forenoon
lying down in upstairs chamber.
Got out to Museum after 
luncheon & wrote several letters
then.

Cambridge.
Ther [Thermometer] Saturday, Jan. 25, 1919 [January 25, 1919] Wea [Weather]
22 [degrees], 32 [degrees] Fine
  Clear and cool with light northerly
wind. There seems to be no frost
in the ground save where its
surface hardens overnight to a
depth of an inch or so. Little or
nothing to be seen now or for a 
week past in or about Cambridge
would lead one uninformed as 
to the fact to suspect that
this is midwinter here.
  Garden birds. Chickadee, Crow
& Blue Jay heard.
  Spent most of day in Museum
writing letters & picking out
superfluous books for Sherman.
Short walk thro' [through] neighboring
streets just after luncheon.
  Two school teachers, sisters living
at 13 Arlington St., Cambridge,
the Misses Imogene & Butella Conland,
came by appt. [appointment] at 2.45 P.M. to see
the collections & staying upwards of an hour
E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] read to me after supper.
