(No. 2)
  Since writing the page next preceding this I have
seen Miss Mary Bishop who lives at 61 Sparks Street in
rooms directly overlooking our garden. She tells me that
on returning to her apartment on October 1st her attention
was attracted to a loud-voiced bird singing in the
Garden and that she heard it almost every day
through October and has also heard it a few times this
month. When I questioned her closely about this song
she not only described but also imitated, the song
of the Carolina Wren, & so very correctly as to leave no
doubt in my mind that she has been hearing the
very bird which I have noted since my return. She
is interested in birds and knows the commoner ones
found about here & their songs. The one she described
was new to her and she had been waiting eagerly to
question me about it. All this confirms Gilbert's testimony.
The Carolina Wren again.
