Ther [Thermometer] Sunday, Jan. 26, 1919 [January 26, 1919] Wea [Weather] Fine
Of a prolonged series of more or
less springlike days this has been
perhaps the most springlike
with its bright sunshine & calm
soft air. So at least tis said
by those who have been out of
door which I have, not being
indeed confined to my chamber
by sudden illness (consisting
mostly of acute nausea) and
thereby deprived of the pleasure of
seeing our five dinner guests
three Almys, Miss Allyn & Walter
Deane. They seemed to be
enjoying themselves well enough
to judge by the sound of their
voices & laughter coming to my
ears from below stairs.
After they had good Dick Dana [Richard Henry Dana Jr.]
called to see me but I was
not told of it until morning.
  Garden birds: crows head [heard] cawing
a Jay screaming, Chickadees calling.

Ther [Thermometer] Monday, Jan. 27, 1919 [January 27, 1919] Wea [Weather]
Fair.
Mostly sunny but partly cloudy.
No frost but high & rather chill
westerly wind.
  Spent entire day upstairs,
partly in my chamber,
also in E.R.S.'s [Elizabeth R. Simmons], she
reading to me betimes.
This retirement due not so
much to ill-ness as to a
good old-fashioned dosing
by Dr. Stevens which did
not manifest itself fairly
until I went to bed at
night. Then several of the
midnight hours passed
wretchedly enough for me.
  No birds seen or heard.
