  Spent forenoon in Museum writing
letters. Stayed away from church

still troublesome although gradually
lessening. We had at dinner

0 [degrees], 16 [degrees] Snow storm
Cloudy & cold. Snowing all day,

Thrasher started from vine at 5 P.M. by Gilbert
In forenoon revised several pages on 
Owls for C. [Caroline Brewster] to copy & afterwards
wrote a couple of pages on the
Long-eared Owl in P.M., adapting
most of its few notes in Journal, 
however. I find it much easier to
do this than to compose without
such assistance for the thought is
already expressed even though the
wording must be wholly changed, as
sometimes happens.
  We had Miss Balch at luncheon.
C. & E. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] read to me for half an hour
after dinner. Nuttall Club after that.
