Transcription Notes
Wake up feeling very weak after a disturbed and I expect semi-delirious night. But curiously enough my head is clearer intellectually than it has been for some time. Perhaps that fever bout yesterday was the last & worst kick from the fiend! D[octor] seems to hesitate as to whether I am down with typhoid, or grippe, or what he calls auto intoxication. Is going to call in another doctor tomorrow. Maud wires Campbell who wires back that he is coming here and will arrive 7.30 tomorrow. In the afternoon Dr Logan turns up accompanied by another brother saw- bones, ironically named Albright, a good-natured, smiling , rather old, and obviously stupid person who examines me and makes non-commital platitudes. Anyhow I feel a bit better and wire Campbell to postpone departure till he hears from us in the morning. Temperature rises again in the evening, not so severely as heretofore, but sufficiently to leave me like a chewed rag, in which state I embark on another night.Location
