Ther [Thermometer] Thursday, Jan. 27, 1916 [January 27, 1916] Wea [Weather]
60 [degrees] Dull.
Early morn [morning] sunny. Afterwards cloudy
& misty. Very warm but somewhat
chilly with light easterly wind.
  In Garden: 5 Peabody birds, all in
immature plumage and closely alike,
spent the morning together in the lilacs
scatching [scratching] among fallen leaves, singing
every now and then; 2 Jays screaming
long & loud about 9 A.M.; a few
House Sparrows.
  Spent day in Museum writing
a few letters & cheques for bills.
Very much of my time has had
to be wasted of late because of 
grievous trouble with the eyes &
generally unhinged nervous condition
both doubtless due to my giving up
smoking on January 10, since when
I have not touched tobacco - nor
cared to.
  E.R.S. [Elizabeth R.Simmons] returned from Springfield this
noon. Miss Henders still here. C. [Caroline Brewster] weak
& depressed.
