Ther [Thermometer] Wednesday, Feb. 9, 1916 [February 9, 1916] Wea [Weather] 
Dull.
  Cloudy calm & mild but chilly.
An inch or two of snow fell sometime 
last night or very early this morning.
  In Garden: a Chickadee, 3 dull-colored
Peabody birds with about 20 House Sparrows
at seed bed, 2 Jays screaming in 
the Jungle.
  Spent forenoon partly in Museum
partly in house with C. [Caroline] - it being
the thirty eigth [eighth] anniversary of our
wedding day. Lizzy Fuller brought
us some beautiful roses.
  I went to town at 2.30 to 
attend Annual Meeting Directors
of Grenfell Ass.[Association] at 14 Beacon St.
Dr. Blake presided. He, Mr.[?],
Dr. Little, Mr. Grein, Miss White

Ther [Thermometer] Thursday, Feb. 10, 1916 [February 10, 1916]  Wea [Weather] 
20 [degrees] Fine
Clear, crisp & frosty with
moderate westerly wind.
Everything buried in snow
now somewhat icy in character.
  In Garden: a lone Chickadee,
one im.[immature] Peabody bird with 30+ 
House Sparrows at seed bed,
a [male] Flicker in Parkman's apple [tree],
a Jay flitting through Jungle,
dislodging puffs of snow from 
many a branch thereby.
  Spent most of day in
Museum where I wrote a few
letters and relabeled several
birds in the Purdie collections.
Although apparently perfectly well
I am still suffering from a
deadly apathy that has oppressed
me for several weeks. Perhaps it is
due in part to anxiety about C.
whose eyesight continues to fade pathetically
Jude Abbott called at 1.45 & spent
upwards of an hour.
