Dull.
Cloudy & cool with chill easterly
wind at nightfall. 
  Besides numerous Robins, Grackles & House
Sparrows our cherry trees attracted 
to-day several young Orioles & one of 
their parents. At least so I judged by
the sound of their voices. The birds
themselves I failed to see. There were
also a Red-eye [Red-eyed Vireo] & a Goldfinch in full
song. A Robin sang long & sweetly
about noon. A young Robin with speckled
breast came down the chimney into
the big room of the Museum where
Gilbert caught it, to be released out of doors.
  C. [Caroline Brewster] sent Sun back to Wellesley by Percy
early this morning. I spent day
in Museum writing letters & cheques.
Miss Swazey lunched with us.

Mr. Blackwell at 5. Went over his house

cementing cavities in lindens. C.
read aloud this evening.
