Ther [Thermometer] Thursday, Jan. 22, 1914 [January 22, 1914] Wea [Weather]
8 [degrees], 20 [degrees] Fine.
Clear & frosty with exceedingly 
dry & pure air & little or no wind.
Altogether much like typical winter
weather at Bethel. Trees snow laden still.
  Saw a Chickadee at suet &
heard a Flicker in Jungle. Squirrels
still keeping close-hid for most past.
  Worked on Bald Eagle story
revising it in forenoon, as C. [Caroline Brewster]
type wrote it, and adding a
couple of pages of freshly composed
matter in afternoon. It is proving
an interesting theme to me as I
get further & further into it.
  A.T. Pierce called about 3 P.M.
to talk about gypsy moth work.
He is to do our trees here in a few
days but probably will not go to
Concord before March.
  C. [Caroline Brewster] & E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] read aloud after supper.
Mrs. Cobb & Lizzy F. [Lizzy Fuller] called.

Ther [Thermometer] Friday, Jan. 23, 1914 [January 23, 1914] Wea [Weather]
10 [degrees], 30 [degrees] Fair
Forenoon sunny; afternoon cloudy.
Calm with steadily rising temperature.
  Heard a Jay & saw a Chickadee
at the suet.
  Practically the whole forenoon
had to be given to writing
letters but I got fairly to
work again of the Bald Eagle 
story immediately after luncheon
and composed a couple of new
pages before 6 P.M.
  C. [Caroline Brewster] spent the day in town & 
came home so tired that she
has kept to her room & couch since.
E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] has been reading to me
in the hall from "He Knew He Was 
Right." We all think it is one of
Trollope's very best stories.
  "Sun" the Chow, is ceasing to be
a puppy & becoming a rather big dog.
