Cambridge to Concord.
1895.
Oct.5                
Clear with cool N.E. wind.
  After spending four days in Cambridge I went to
Concord this afternoon, driving Charlie up in the open
buggy by my favourite route; via the Lyman place, past
the north side of Prospect Hill, and through the Sandy
Pond woods, starting at half-past then and reaching
the Keyes's at about sunset.
  It was hard to believe that the season could be later
than mid-September for there have been no "killing" frosts
as yet and the foliage was as green as in midsummer
in most of the woods that I passed only a 
few of the maples in low land showing any decided
autumn colouring.                                                              
  I saw few birds except Jays and the common 
Sparrows - Song Sparrows, Chippies, etc. A Grass Finch           
sang once in loud, full tones as I was passing an 
old, mud-grown field.
