1894
Feb. 16
Cambridge to New York
Clear and cold with strong north west wind.
Left Boston at 4 P.M. by train to New York
C. accompanying me. The country to Springfield
and beyond was covered with from one to two
feet of snow very fresh and spotless after
the recent storm. The air was wonderfully
clear and the light at sunset very beautiful.
A typical winter light and landscape. I
was glad to have it so since it will
make the change to the tropics still
more marked and impressive.
  Three or four Crows and a bevy of Quail that
rose from the railroad embankment and
flew up a hillside were all the birds
seen., but then it became dark soon after
we left Worcester.
