Dr. Kennedy came this morning and spent the day.
I met him at the station at 9.50 and drove
home round the square by the Tamaracks. I
showed Dr. K. over the place and through the
house. He was much pleased with every thing.
The view exceeded his expectations. I took
him to dine at the Mountain View House
and we went up to the cupola and saw the view.
We returned to the house and saw the [?]
and then strolled down to the village where
Dr. K. took the 4.02 train back home. Then M. & I
took a walk of about 1 1/2 m. up the road.
I have had a most enjoyable day —

— Aug. 19 Whitefield, N.H. —
Cloudy & sunny. This morning I walked up the road to the log
hut and then tramped through the bog to Laurance's and struck
the logging road which I followed south back to the hut.
It was a good tramp of 2 miles in bog & wood. I saw
a couple of Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, and a Hermit Thrush.
The latter was crying in a piece of wood, with an insect in
its bill. I didn't know the call till I saw the bird.
Vireo {solitarius}
Hemithraupis ruficapilla
This P.M. M. & I took a walked a little beyond the log hut.
I saw finely a Nashville Warbler & a Blue headed Vireo
in some willows by the road. They are both handsome
birds.
