Ther [Thermometer] Sunday, Feb. 25, 1917 [February 25, 1917] Wea [Weather]
20 (Tuesday entry other side this p.)
Clear & cold. Fresh N.W. [northwest] wind.
Everything frozen hard again.
Snow surfaces mostly replaced by
thick sheets of polished ice.
Sidewalk slippery in places.
  Garden birds: Two Crows on wing.
About 20 House Sparrows wrangling
over bread crumbs in our clothes yard
but not making much noise.
Cold weather seems alway to 
silence them at this season but
not later.
  Worked all forenoon & part of
afternoon on Red wing [Red-winged Blackbird] story. At
last it has been wrought into
something like presentable shape
after prolonged effort which should
have produced thrice that amount of
manuscript - yes! ten times.
  Miss Stetson, Miss Kelly, Miss Allyn
& Frank Manning our dinner guests.
Final turkey from Farm & a good one.
Frank stayed on until 4 P.M. Dick Dana [Richard Henry Dana Jr.]
called before he left.
