Transcription Notes:
Wednesday June 4 12 M. entry for air temperature shows a very faint number, possibly 49, before 53. The faint number is not included in the transcription. Wednesday June 4 6 P.M. entry for air temperature shows 49 with strikeout. Including this information in the transcription would misalign the remaining entries with respect to the headings. Smithsonian Archives have asked we transcribe dittos as " [[Ditto for: text]]
