bruised my right thumb so seriously that I fear I shall lose the nail just as my other one which I hurt in June is nearly grown out. 

Wednesday 24. Rained in the night and foggy all forenoon. After dinner it looked like clearing and I went up the brook and made a sketch of some beech trunks along the road. The hound came dashing along by me again this time with two terriers. They have evidently been running all this time. A letter from Mr. Bachelder. 

Thursday 25 Grey morning. Made a sketch of some ferns in the forenoon and began a sketch on the stream. 

Friday 26. Beautiful morning. Our last day for work as we go home tomorrow. Finished the sketch I began yesterday which I think is one of my best in many ways. There is a perceptible increase in the Autumn colour and everything is growing more beautiful. I would like to stay a little longer on many accounts but feel I am needed at home. I made a hurried sketch in the afternoon and took a walk down the brook where I saw some trees I shall try to get a pencil sketch of tomorrow forenoon. This brook is a lovely place in the Autumn and the 25th of September is the time to come here.
