Fine
Clear & cool with light northerly
winds.
  To Dr. Casteel's office at 9. He
found a large back tooth in bad
condition & had to kill & extract the
nerve at once. Also a "bridge" is
loose & must be repaired if not
replaced. Left his place at 8.55 
& hurried to Cosmos Club House
where we held our annual Council
meeting 10.30 -12.30. This time
present - Allen, Chapman, Batchelder,
Brewster, Dwight, Elliot, Henshaw,
Richmond, Stone, Fisher, Merriam
Sage, Nelson.
  At 2 P.M. we sat down to a delicious
lunch served by Cosmos Club. After it
several of us lingered in the [?] rooms
for half an hour. Henry & I got back to the
Ontario by 4.30. We dined there at 7.
By 8 we were at Ebbitt House to attend
business meeting. 24 Fellows present.

Fine
Sunny most of day. Very warm
with light southerly winds. Apple trees
leafing out. Peach trees, Forsythia, hyacinths
& dandelions in full bloom; also maples
& poplars. Grass growing fast.
  A clear-voiced Cardinal in full
song just under our window at 8 A.M.
Tufted Tit singing in distance.
Peabody birds, whistling brokenly. City
swarming with Purple Grackles. Many
Robins, also, but mostly silent ones.
  Henry & I breakfasted at 7.30 in Ontario.
Table very good. I wrote long letter to
R. Deane & then went to Nat. Mus. [United States National Museum].
Fisher did not begin meeting until
11. Seton had first paper - on
Kennicott & very good. I left at 12
lunched at Harvey's & was in Dr.
Casteel's chair. He worked on me 
until 2 when I went to Cosmos &
thence to Ontario, badly used up by
grippy cold. Gave up attending Ann. [Annual]
Dinner & spent evening with Henry in his
rooms. Dr. Mann called - Fine man.
