Glendale
Ther [Thermometer] Tuesday, Aug. 20, 1918 [August 20, 1918] Wea. [Weather]
Perfect.
Cloudless & almost windless with
brilliantly clear air & bright sunshine.
Warmer through day, cool at morn & eve. [evening]
  Forenoon spent mostly in
house & studio. Also took a
short walk with Mrs. Powell.
  In late P.M. Dan & I went to
the Smiths where we found the
whole family (except Mrs. S.) assembled
& the two daughters working on their
little pond among the alders by
the brook. Mrs. Cummings, an
Australian girl & successful actress, 
dined with us & spent the evening.
She & Capt. Fletcher did most of the
talking & both were highly entertaining.

Glendale - Cambridge
Ther [Thermometer] Wednesday, Aug. 21, 1918 [August 21, 1918] Wea. [Weather]
Perfect.
The sixth day of absolutely clear &
altogether rarely perfect weather. Warmer
than yesterday but not uncomfortably
so out-of-doors & refreshingly cool at 
morn and eve. [evening] The early morning at "Chesterwood"
was simply heavenly & the flower garden
there more beautiful than I have ever
before seen it. A Red-eye [Red-eyed Vireo], a Wood Pewee
an Oriole & a Purple Finch sang rather freely, if
feebly & brokenly. A Rose breast Grosbeak [Rose-breasted Grosbeak]
heard calling - also a Bobolink afar off.
  Packed my things after breakfast &
was driven by James to Glendale Station
where I took 11.10 train for Pittsfield.
There I had to wait for the Boston
train until 2.05 P.M. spending the
time in the station, reading.
The ride to Boston was hot &
dirty for the parlor car of steel
radiated heat like a metal stove &
cinders came in this open window
  Reached Cambridge at 6.30 to find
C. [Caroline Brewster] at home again & seemingly improved
in health.
