Stormy
  A snow-storm began sometime
last night & continued through
entire forenoon making in all
some ten inches and thereby
restoring the total depth of the
snow blanket to nearly or quite 
what it was before the recent
thaws & rains. Certainly it must
exceed a foot on the level now. 
  In Garden: immature Peabody
bird in vines over Museum door
chirping loudly, 2 Flickers feeding
in Parkman apple tree, Blue Jay
heard screaming.
  Spent day in Museum
reidentifying birds collected at
Trinidad in 1894 and writing 
labels for them. Finished this
task at 6 P.M. It was pleasingly
interrupted for about half an hour
in late P.M. by a call from Dick
Dana & his Irish terrier "Tipperary".
We sat in hall this eve E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] reading aloud.

Annuity tax opinion.
Morning brilliantly clear, almost
windless, moderately cool, wholly
devoid of chill. Afternoon cloudy
& very chilly with intermittent
rain and snow.

Chickadee calling, Downy [Downy Woodpecker],
upwards of a dozen House Sparrows.
  C. [Caroline] & I drove to subway at 10.15
& went thence to Boston where I
left her at St. Pauls. Met John Abbott
by appn't [appointment] at our office 11 A.M. to
get his advice respecting payment
of income tax on my annuity.
He thinks that without question it
should be borne by the Estate as
indeed the Will specifically directs.
He promised to give me this opinion
in writing later. Galloupe heard it.
  Lunched at Marston's. Called at [?]
for records & "shopped" a little at
Dennison's & [?]. Home
by 3.30. Worked in Museum later.
  Victrola music & reading this evening.
