Dull
Thin cloudy, calm & chilly.
Light snow falling 4-5 P.M.
whitening ground & powdering
branches of trees & shrubs but
nowhere making to a depth
exceeding half an inch.
  Garden birds. 3 Blue Jays &
2 [females] Downy Woodpeckers in 
lilacs; about 20 House Sparrows

  A comparatively comfortable &
also active day for me. Visited
Museum twice & wrote a
couple of letters there besides
others in house. Dr. Stevens
called at 3 P.M. bringing a 
disquieting report of xray
photos taken by Dr. Andrews
which, he says, indicate a
septic condition at roots of
some of my teeth.

36 [degrees] Fair
Partly sunny, mostly overcast.
Little or no wind. Snow must
have continued to fall thro
last night for it lay 3 or 4
inches deep this morning. The
trees were dense with snow
foliage which, however, melted
rapidly at sunrise & had
wholly disappeared an hour 
later.
Garden birds. A Downy [Downy Woodpecker] heard,
15 or 20 House Sparrows seen.
  Rose at 10 A.M. & spent 
remainder of forenoon in
den reading newspaper &
letters. After luncheon wrote
to my old schoolmate Herman
Haupt & then went to Museum
to read there awhile. Returned
to house at 5 P.M. & soon after
that had active nausea awhile.
E. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] read Martin Chusselwit [Martin Chuzzlewit] this eve.
