Cambridge, Mass.
1901
January & February

The two months have been spend quietly at
work in the Museum. I have among other
things made a card catalogue of the birds in
the mounted collection. After all the details
are properly made out I shall copy these on to
regular cards that it may be properly preserved.
Will Brewster has been in Bethel since the
first day of December excepting a few days at
Christmas time. Gilbert has been with me.

The weather has been mild for winter
with very little snow. February was a very
chilly month. But few birds have been seen in
the garden. The Chickadees have been present
daily, coming to the suet to feed. All these
facts have been carefully recorded at the Museum.

I was sick with grippe from January 17
to 27, but I picked up quickly after I got
out again.

The meetings of our "We Dine" Club have been
most pleasant. I had it on January 17 and
Arthur Chadbourne on February 21. It is one
of the pleasantest evenings I spend. All
are bright and jolly and we break up
about 10 or 10:30, never later.
