Transcription Notes
Temperature very persistent. Some headache behind right eye and sometimes extending down right side of face, as I had at Harrogate. In fact attack similar except that it is more constant & persistent in the matter of temperature and there is no cold or cough — thank goodness. Very depressed at the smashing up of all my hopes & projects. But for this infernal disease this would have been pretty nearly a record week. Maud most devoted. Camping out in my room every night and does everything she can think of to help me. The Proprietors of the Hotel, Brothers Beales are most kind & helpful. The Hotel is a very second rate affair but they do what they can to accommodate me.Location
