Cambridge - Boston - New York
Ther [Thermometer] Thursday, June 25, 1914 Wea [Weather]
94 [degrees] Fine
Clear & intensely hot with light
southerly breeze.
  To Boston at 10 A.M. Spent most
of day in our office. Signed the
regularly quarterly disbursement
cheques & dictated a letter to Miss
Heartz in reply to one that came
from her this morning. Arthur, also,
had received & answered one from her.
She takes her dismissal hard & thinks
(or claims) she has been unjustly treated.
Dined with Arthur at Youngs.
It was suffocating there but not
half so bad as in the train that
I took at Dartmouth St. for New York
at 5.04 P.M. We cooled off a little before
reaching Providence & had a really
refreshing sea breeze as we skirted
the shores of the Sound. But now
that I am settled for the night in
Murray Hill Hotel it seems as
hot as at any hour during the day.
The hotel is almost deserted, apparently. 

New York - Washington
Ther [Thermometer] Friday, June 25, 1914 Wea [Weather]
Fine
Clear & hot with light westerly wind.
  Despite the heat I had a good night's 
sleep & arose refreshed at 7 A.M. to
breakfast at the "Biltmore" where they
served me fairly well. Took 10.08
A.M. train for Washington. Although
intensely hot the air seemed fresher
than yesterday & as all the car windows
were opened wide I had a not
uncomfortable journey. To my surprise
the season seemed but little, if at all,
further advanced that at Concord - even
after passing Baltimore. Thus the corn
was scarce taller & haying only begun.
Orange milkweed in full bloom & making
a handsome show along railroad.
Reached Washington 3.15. Henry met
me at station & we went to "Ontario"
by trolley car. After dinner ascended 
to roof & sat there talking until the
stars came out. Dead calm, pleasantly
warm. Robin, House & Carolina Wren, Cardinal,
Cat bird, Yellow Warbler & Quail & Wood
Thrush singing. Swift, Crow Blackbird, Crows
& a Night Heron flying past. A few fire flies.
