  To Harvard Square by motor
at 11 A.M. for second treatment
of my teeth for Rigg's disease,
by (young) Dr. Andrews. It so
exhausted me this time that
after getting back (at 11.40) I
had to lie down until luncheon.
After that came Evans to
talk over plans for a Memorial
tablet for Alumni soldiers at
Wolfeboro. He stayed above
an hour. I walked a little
with Percy in garden in
late P.M.

Stormy
Drizzling rain storm with chill
air but comparatively little wind.
  Garden birds. A silent Robin; 4
Fox Sparrows (one singing a little);
2 Blue Jays; several Grackles & Crows;
a Flicker (shouting freely); about
15 House Sparrows.
  Rose at 11 and spent remainder
of day mostly in Museum
writing a few letters & cheques
for bills, reading a good
deal in old time diaries &
journals many of whose entries
concern matters quite forgotten
or but half remembered although
there are others still as fresh
in my recollection as if they
had happened only yesterday.
The perusal of these ancient
records gives me much
pleasure during my present
ill health.
