Ther [Thermometer] Monday, Mar. 10, 1919 [March 10, 1919] Wea [Weather]
42 [degrees] max. [maximum] Fine
Brilliantly clear with raging
N.W. [northwest] wind - in short a
typical March day.
  Garden birds. A Downy Woodpecker
& some 30 House Sparrows, Crows
cawing not far off, a Flicker
heard (by Percy) in the Jungle
in early morning.
  Another attack of nausea before
breakfast. Remained in bed
for a couple of hours after it.
A Norwegian came from Concord
about noon seeking Burbank's place.
I was not pleased with his
personality & gave him no encourage-
ment. At 5 P.M. a German came
out from the Breck agency. He
was most pleasing & evidently a 
gardener & farmer of large experience
but being a Prussian cannot be accepted.
Percy bought a dozen incubator
chickens & has them installed on
"Mother's room" in the Museum.
