4 [degrees], 20 [degrees] Fine
Clear, calm & cold. Less chilly
than yesterday. No change in
snow conditions. Excellent sleighing
still with a good many pungs
running through Brattle Street.
Almost no one hereabouts has
much coal yet everyone seems
to be getting enough to keep
reasonably comfortable.
  Garden birds. A [female] Robin & 7
Starlings in Parkman apple tree
at 3 P.M. A Jay heard screaming
in Jungle.
  The Henry F. Farrow Co. sent a
man this morning to estimate cost
of wiring #2 Riedesel Avenue for
electric lights. I spent most of
forenoon with him & the Bruces
there. Wrote a letter in P.M.
Eyes behaving themselves better
but still useless for reading fine print.

Clear and cold but not chilly.
Light westerly wind.
  Garden birds. 2 Chickadees;
a Jay; a Starling and a
Flicker together in Parkman
apple tree; a Crow heard
cawing faintly.
  Spent most of day in
Museum writing letters &
cheques for bills.
  Started for a walk up Brattle
Street soon after luncheon
but went no further than to
Appleton Street because of
dizzyness & weakness - constantly
afflicting me of late. My
eyes, also, are exceedingly
troublesome. Lizzy [Elizabeth R. Simmons] is very
feeble & we are anxious about 
her. C. [Caroline Brewster] continues to improve
& comes downstairs freely
now
