Perfect
Clear & very warm with light westerly
wind. Typical Indian summer weather.
  Full song of Winter Wren given once at
8 A.M. in thicket below our window at the
Ontario. Carolina Wren singing at same time.
  Went down town with Henry at 8.30.
We visited agency for Edison phonograph
& heard several of their records. The music
is wonderfully clear & pure in tone but over
hard & to my ear lacking in sweetness & harmony.
To Dr. Casteel at 10. He began work on new
bridge. Left him at 11.30 & visited agency
of Detroit electrics. Inspected all their several
styles of cars. Very attractive but expensive.
Lunched at Cosmos with Henry.
  To Bannockburn golf links at
3.30. Course crowded with players.
Henry had promised to join
me there but failed to do so.
I strolled about & sat on benches
watching the play. There was a soft
warm breeze & a glowing sunset.
Heard a Meadow Lark sing well.

Ther [Thermometer] Thursday, Nov. 5, 1914 [November 5, 1914] Wea [Weather]
Fine
Clear & somewhat cooler with
fresh westerly wind.
  At Casteel's 10-11.30 & 3-4.15.
At Droop & Sons 11.45-
12.30. Bought a $50. as a present
for Henry & ordered it sent to "The
Ontario" in mid-afternoon. It
failed to reach there, however, until
5.30, just after Henry had come
in from playing golf at Bannockburn.
After dinner we invited Dr. & Mrs.
Mann to come over to hear it.
There were a considerable number
of records, including some of my
favorites, sent with it & these it
rendered very well. The Manns
were delighted with it & so is 
Henry. Dr. Mann had asked
me to go out to the Washington 
Country Club at 1.45 P.M. but
my dental work prevented it. He
tells me that President Wilson
was there & that he chatted with him.
Lunched at Cosmos with Henry & others.
