August 21, 1904, Sunday Violent northeast gale and rain for a good part of last night and most of the A. M. Temperature 54. Have been in the house all day working ever plants- mostly forcing drying by artificial heat. In the late P. M. Fernald and Pease took a walk for a mile or so to the west. In the evening Fernald made out a list of things common in New England but not collected here yet. August 22, 1904, Monday Mostly clear or fair. Warmer. In the early A. M. worked on plants in press. At about 9.30 or 10.00 A. M. Fernald Pease, and I walked eastward along the shore for one half mile or so and then went south to Seal Cove River where we botanized awhile. Had dinner at 2.00 o'clock. In the P. M. I greased my boots and worked in the room some and at four o'clock the three of us went botanizing along Seal Cove River. In the evening took care of specimens collected. Have arranged to go up the Douglas- town or St. John River tomorrow. August 23, 1904, Tuesday Clear. Temperature 55 at seven o'clock. About 8.30 A.M. Fernald, Pease, and I with Fred Kennedy and Richard McAuley as boatmen started the trip up the Douglastown River. We rode via team to near the head of the bay west of the bargchois and there got a "flat" (i.e. a large dory) and started up the river. We did not get above the islands by noon and so ate our dinner. At 4.00 P. M. we had reached a point nearly up to Salmon Club House and then turned back. Reached landing again at about 6.30 P. M. where we were met by Mr. Kennedy's son with a carriage. In the evening took care of specimens I collected (about a dozen mosses).
