Ther [Thermometer] Monday, Feb. 9, 1914 [February 9, 1914] Wea [Weather]
12 degrees, 20 degrees, 16 degrees Fine
Clear & cold with fresh N.W. [northwest]
wind. A glittering coat of icy mail
covers everything.
  2 or 3 Chickadees seen at suet. The
Thrasher did not return to his perch
in the vine at all this evening.
When C. [Caroline Brewster] came out to see him at
5.10 yesterday evening he flew away
but came back a few minutes
later & presumably spent the 
night there.
  Worked partly on Sparrow Hawk
partly on Fish Hawk story in A.M.
revising both as C. type-copied in
the big room. Several letters had
to be written after luncheon & they
took up most of afternoon but I 
did another page for the Fish Hawk
Story which should not hold me
after to-morrow. This is the
anniversary of our wedding 36 years
ago. I had just the number of 
carnations for C. at breakfast. She
is laid low by headache this eve.
Cambridge
Ther [Thermometer] Tuesday, Feb. 10, 1914 [February 10, 1914] Wea [Weather]
16 [degrees], 26 [degrees] Fine
Sunny, hazy, calm, cold.
3 Chickadees at suet, a Jay, screaming
& a Hairy Woodpecker calling in Jungle.
No sign of the Thrasher. He was not
in the vine this evening or last. When
he returned to it on Sunday evening,
after being frightened away by C's knock
at the door, he seemed restless & nervous
moving or shrinking back a little when I 
peeped out at him. There are no fresh
droppings under the vine.
  Worked all day on Fish Hawk story,
adding two pages. These, like the first
two, were freshly composed as my 
notes furnished no matter desirable
for use in its original shape. I
do not expect to add anything more
to this brief story, which deals with
the very last of the Falconidae. Now
for the Owls!
Walter Deane called at 12.45, staying
half an hour. C. [Caroline Brewster] & E. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] have gone in
town to see F. Robinson in "Othello".
