Fine
A.M. sunny but hazy. Clouds gathering in 
late P.M. Warm with soft S.W. [southwest] wind.
  Walked about grounds & studio woods
after breakfast. Birds singing freely.
Robin in old-time numbers. 6 on lawn
at once. Some carry worms to nests.
Wrote letters 10-12. Nap, with
more letters after dinner. Mrs. F. [Mary Adams French]
motored to Pittsfield for Dan [Daniel Chester French] at 3.30.
He reached home at 5 looking better
than I had expected. After taking a
bath & changing his clothes he joined
me for a walk about the place
but we were soon driven in by a
light sprinkle of rain. We all
spent the evening in the parlor
talking. Two Whippoorwills singing
ceaselessly when I went to bed.
I heard them later at intervals 
whenever I was awake. The Barred
Owls have not been noted this year
& for the first time since I have known
"Chesterwood" there are no Wood Thrushes
there.

Fair
Partly sunny, largely cloudy. Very
warm & humid with southerly wind.
  Spent most of day in my room
writing from note books a resume of
my observations at Concord through
the past spring. Dan was busy with
accumulated correspondence but he &
Mrs. French accompanied me on a
walk in late P.M. to visit McIntosh
who received us with his accustomed
quiet cordiality & entertained us for
half an hour with his delightfully
naive and unworldly talk about his
simple work & interests. He showed us
his vegetable garden, a model of neatness
& systematic thrift.
  Mr. & Mrs. Crowingshield [Frederic Crowninshield] with their grand
daughter Miss De Gersdorf [Josephine de Gersdorff], a charmingly pretty
girl, dined with us & spent the evening.
There were 7 Robins on the lawn at
sunset. Later a Cony (?) Rabbit loped
over it. Two Whippoorwills sang on the
mountain all last night. A Wood Thrush
singing this evening, the first heard here.
