Cambridge - Boston.
Ther [Thermometer] Saturday, Feb. 19, 1916 [February 19, 1916] Wea [Weather]
14 [degrees], 10 [degrees]. Fine
Clear & cold with blustering
N.W. [northwest] wind. A very harsh
& trying sort of day.
  In Garden: Heard a Downy [Downy Woodpecker] &
saw a Jay & a few House Sparrows.
  Went in town at 10.30 to
meet Mr. Haley at our office
where we had a rather long
talk about school matters.
He thinks it best not to be
hasty about interfering with
the boys' secret Society but will
await a good opportunity to talk
with them. I took him to 
Marston's for dinner at 1 P.M.
  Came out about 3 & did
a little work in Museum.
Dick Dana called at 5.30,
Alice & Harry Bartlett at
8.30.

Ther [Thermometer] Sunday, Feb. 20, 1916 [February 20, 1916] Wea [Weather]
5 [degrees], 24 [degrees] Fair
Thin cloudy with occasional brief
gleams of sunshine. Cold but
not so windy as was yesterday.
  In Garden:- Heard a Jay & saw 
a Crow & a few House Sparrows.
  Spent forenoon in Museum 
reading books. Had intended to
write letters but lacked energy
(or will power) enough to get
started at it. This deplorable 
condition of mind or nerves or
what not, seems to grow on me
from day to day, paralyzing all
mental effort and stupefying me
much of the time with drowsiness
impossible to resist. Perhaps it
may all be due to abstention
from tobacco which I have not
once touched since January 10 last.
  Miss Allyn our only guest at
dinner. Victrola music after it.
Called at the Almys' 5.30 - 6.30 seeing
only Mrs. A. [Mrs. Almy] & Mary.
