Fine
Clear, calm, seasonably warm - or cool.
Grass slowly turning green in places
but not generally as yet.
  Garden birds 3 Robins, a Junco,
a Jay, 8 Crow Blackbirds, a
Flicker [in full song] (shouting at short, regular
intervals).
  Took several walks the longest
with Percy through Brewster St. to
Appleton & back by way of Brattle.
Otherwise the day passed much
as do they all now. I can
no longer have much use of
my eyes for any purpose.
Lizzy reads the war news to
me & also more or less from
books, daily. Just now she
is reading Trollope's "Autobiography"
which I am enjoying quite as 
much as when first read to
me twenty or more years ago.

Fair
Partly sunny, mostly cloudy. Cool
with light easterly wind.
  Garden birds. 3 Robins, 8 Crow Black
birds, 2 Crows, a Jay a few
House Sparrows.
  Had my hair cut at Mark's in
forenoon. Gilbert [Robert A. Gilbert] motored me
down & back. This did not trouble
me nor did a walk of about 1/4 
mile, taken with Percy, after that
but I was too dizzy in the
afternoon to move about freely.
Dick Dana [Richard Henry Dana Jr.] came to see me at
5.30. staying until 6. He had
just returned from New York & goes
back there again to-night.
