Concord, Mass.
  Clear with strong W. wind. A beautiful day just pleasantly 
warm the air dry and bracing.
  To Ball's Hill at 9 A.M. sailing down. The strong steady
wind drove the canoe through the water as swiftly as a steam
launch. Dined at the cabin and spent the afternoon cutting down
trees on the Blackmore land. Vey few small birds about. Heard
a Robin and saw Tree Sparrows along the river. A Pied-billed
Greebe was diving opposite the cabin in the cabin in the afternoon.
