Ther [Thermometer] Sunday, Aug. 2, 1914 [August 2, 1914] Wea [Weather]
Fine.
Clear & delightfully warm with light
westerly breeze.
  Red-eye [Red-eyed Vireo] singing (in early morn), Goldfinch
calling (in distance), adult Jays screaming
& young ones whining & squealing, three or four
Robins flitting about in Jungle, a Hummer [Hummingbird]
with plain white throat at the bee balm
just before sunset.
  Spent most of day in Museum
writing letters. C. [Caroline Brewster] went in town alone
to early service & returned with a 
badly bruised knee injured by her
falling in Harvard Square & striking on
the curb stone there. She took to her 
couch for remainder of day. I
dined at the "Cock Horse" by invitation
of Mrs. Cobb & Lizzy Fuller who with 
Mr. accompanied me there.
All three supped with me on our
back piazza & afterwards listened
to Victrola music in the hall.
War news worse & worse. Germany was
said to have declared war against Russia.

Cambridge.
Ther [Thermometer] Monday, Aug. 3, 1914 [August 3, 1914] Wea [Weather]
 Mixed.
Partly sunny, mostly cloudy. Some
rain at daybreak & heavy rainfall after
dark. Warm & humid.
  A Yellow Warbler, apparently a [female] & doubtless
a migrant from elsewhere, was flitting about
in elm over driveway this noon. Near it was
a mother Red-eyed Vireo accompanied
by at least one cheeping offspring. A [male]
Red-eye [Red-eyed Vireo] sang rather feebly at early morn.
A pair of adult Robins in the Jungle were
much disturbed whenever Tim, the terrier,
entered it & have been for several days
past. Their anxious calling indicates that
they have young either in or just out
of the nest but these I cannot find
Old & young Jays screaming & whining
as usual. Heard the chink of one
or more Bobolinks in the distance at
8 A.M. They seemed to be moving southward.
  Worked all day on Gr. H. Owl [Great Horned Owl] story
without quite finishing it. C. [Caroline Brewster] type copied
it from 10.30 to 12.45. The Cobb-Fullers
dined with me on back piazza. E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons]
returned from Bangor at 9 P.M.
War news more & more ominous.
