Ther [Thermometer] Saturday, Feb. 9, 1918 [February 9, 1918] Wea [Weather]
12 [degrees] 26 [degrees] Stormy
  Dark cloudy and intensely
chilly with alternating snow
and sleet, the total accumulation
of which is not more than
four inches in depth. Many of
the snow flakes falling between
2 to 2.30 P.M. must have averaged
three or four inches in length by
one inch or two in breadth.
They came thick & fast at times
reminding me of so many
down-sweeping Swallows as I 
watched from C's [Caroline Brewster] chamber
windows. No others approaching
them in size have ever been seen
by me before.
  Garden birds. 2 Chickadees,
2 Jays.
  Fortieth anniversary of C's & my
wedding day. We spent part of 
it together in her chamber & the
evening by hall fireside. I worked
several hours in Umbagog M.S. [manuscript]

20 [degrees] 28 [degrees] Dull
  Thin cloudy with occasional
snow flurries.
  Garden birds. 2 Chickadees,
a Jay and a Crow.
  Writing letters in forenoon.
C. [Caroline Brewster] went in town to service
at St. Paul's. Lizzy Fuller
accompanied her & was our
only dinner guest. Miss Allyn
being confined to her rooms 
by a slight illness.
  Dr. Stevens came at 3 P.M.
to give me a thorough physical
examination. It revealed nothing
wrong with heart, lungs, kidneys
or blood pressure. He therefore
concludes that almost, if not
quite, all my present "aches & ails"
- including eye-troubles, even -
must be due to indigestion.
Called on the Almys 6-6.30 P.M.
Usual family gathering in hall this eve.
