London to Warwick, England.
  Morning sunny, P.M. cloudy with rain.
  Left London for Warwick by 4.45 P.M. train. Road follows
Thames valley for over 30 miles. Great change in landscape with-
in past two weeks. All the hay now harvested and the farmers
beginning on the grain. Some wheat fully ripe and deep straw
color. Starlings and Rooks feeding in the standing "cover", the
former in innumerable flocks. Saw 4 Partridges sitting together
on the bank of a ditch. Reached Warwick at 8 P.M.
