Concord (Farm) - Cambridge
Ther [Thermometer] Thursday, Nov. 19, 1914 [November 19, 1914] Wea [Weather] 
First snow fall. Stormy
Snowing all day at Concord, raining in
Cambridge, heavily in both places with strong,
bitter east wind. At Concord the snow
melted mostly as soon as it struck earth yet
whitened the whole face of the country & lay
at times to a depth of over an inch.
A [male] Downy [Downy Woodpecker] came twice to suet and a cock
Pheasant called once. Several Crows drifting
past. I noted no other birds at Farm.
Spent most of forenoon in house directing
work of men putting away things for winter.
Zeph & George chopped awhile at [?] of 
giant elm front of barn. The loss of this noble
tree is indeed deplorable. I attribute it
chiefly to succession of dry summers.
  Left Farm at 3.30 in Ford car. Fine cock
Pheasant in road as we ascended Punkatassett Hill
I took 3.45 train to Arlington. Reached house
at 5. Gilbert there ahead of me.
We Dine with Batchelder's all but Goodale
present. I sat between Will Jeffries and Robert 
Jackson. Talked chiefly with Townsend
after dinner. Taken down and back in coupe
in pouring rain.
