Amorous Gray Squirrels Cambridge
Ther [Thermometer] Sunday, Feb. [February 9, 1919] Wea [Weather]
Fine
Sunny, calm, cool but not
frosty; altogether a delightful
day of late autumnal rather
than midwinter type. The
ground remains for the most
part if not wholly unfrozen
& everywhere from here to
Concord is quite free from
snow or ice while the grass of
our city lawns continues green.
  This, the 41 anniversary of our
wedding day, has passed very
pleasantly for C. [Caroline Brewster] & me despite
our various ills & ails. She came
up about noon to lunch with
us at 1.30 and stay on until
3.30. We sat by the open fire
in the hall and enjoyed 3
new Victrola records that I
sent in town for yesterday
one by Gluck, another by Gogortha.
The third by Galli-Curci
Usual reading by E. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] in hall

Ther [Thermometer Monday, Feb. 10, 1919 [February 10, 1919] Wea [Weather]
22 [degrees] Fine
Clear & frostily cold with
light northerly wind. Ground
hard frozen again.
  After spending most of
forenoon in bed I dressed &
came down stairs in time
to receive Dr. Stevens who
stayed a full hour & somehow
tired me nervously so that I
had a rather miserable
afternoon enlivened, however,
by a call from Miss Allyn.
Harry Bartlett also came but
him I did not see.
  Just before supper a sudden
& violent attack of nausea
laid me up for awhile after
which I went to table &
had a light & simple meal.
  E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] read to me in hall
after supper from Locke's 
"A Wonderful Year" which
we both like.
