[inscription reads] " Make brief visit to Swamp. A rich place. Red alders full of berries. Other shrubs are berry hung. This may mean that robins will stay the winter out. / Nightwards - cool & streaky sky. / Sept 8, 1914 / Cloudy morning. Cool. Wind from east. Clouds breaks at noon. Will from N.W. Sunshine bright. Clouds grow less all afternoon. Sky wonderful. Have not seen such a sky since early spring. Great white sun-riddled clouds boom skywards. "
