Fine
  Clear & cooler with light W. [west] wind.
Typical midsummer day, neither too warm nor
too cool for perfect human comfort.
  Birds singing with exceptional freedom &
brilliancy all day long. I enjoyed their delightful
music keenly especially towards evening when,
from woods behind studio, came almost
ceaselessly the songs of two Hermit Thrushes, a
Wood Thrush & a Wood Pewee, besides those of
a Red-eyed & a Solitary Vireo with every now 
& then that of one Oven bird [Ovenbird]. The Wood Thrush
is an exceptionally good singer and one
of the Hermits has a truly divine voice.
  Spent most of day in chamber reading
writing & sleeping. (Of the last I cannot seem
to get enough just now).
  It was Mrs. French's weekly "at home"
afternoon & a dozen or more people
came to chat & have tea[,] lemonade etc. in
the garden by the fountain. Among them were
Mr. & Mrs. Joseph Choate & Mr. Crownshield,
with all of whom, besides others, I had
pleasant talk.

Ther [Thermometer] Saturday, July 15, 1916  Wea [Weather]
Fine
Sunny but densely hazy. Comfortably cool
with fresh westerly wind.
  Birds generally silent through day, probably
because of high wind. When it died away at
sunset they sang freely and the woods at rear
of studio rang with the clear voices of Wood &
Hermit Thrushes while the plaintive, exquisitely
modulated notes of the Wood Pewee continued to
issue thence until night closed in. Early in
afternoon a Warbling Vireo sang thrice in the
poplars by the studio to which, no doubt,
he had merely strayed from Glendale village
where one or two pairs of his kind breed
regularly every summer. Another unusual
visitor to the Frenches' place was a Green Heron
seen on wing, flying low eastward, this P.M.
  Spent most of day in house & studio, writing
letters & playing Victrola for Dan's entertainment
while he worked on a small angel he was
modeling. He & I walked to Mrs. Warner's later &
saw her & her son - interesting flowers.
Mrs. Schoonmaker & Louise arrived at noon to spend
Sunday. Miss Alice Longfellow & Mrs. [Gregor] of
Cambridge called in mid P.M. when Dan & I
took them about grounds as well as studio.
