The Henson Journals

[163]

Friday, March 12th, 1915.

221st day

I continued work on the Article, & wrote a short sermon for next Sunday. Also I wrote a number of letters, none of them very important, & corrected the proofs of the lecture on 'Kikuyu' for the 'Modern Churchman'. Beyond these futilities I did no more than take Logic for a walk, & read the papers.

There are four nests in building by the rooks in the tree next [^to^] Mrs Fowler's wall: and none at all in the trees in the back garden. I suspect that the presence of no less than three motor cars in the adjoining garages, not to say also the introduction of heating apparatus with a chimney almost underneath their old nesting ground, may have disgusted the birds with these trees.
