Transcription Notes
A fair night, but always feel most seedy in the morning. Mail letters came yesterday and I re-read these and begin work on reading proof of Introduction. Campbell & Packhard turn up at 2 and I see a good deal of them in the afternoon. P. seems I think to favour Grippe theory and I expect he is right though probably I have had some other poison as well. Find it rather tiring to talk with my friends and am glad to be alone in the evening. My temp[erature] keeps down but is continually straying up a point or two. I do not feel I have done more as yet than arrest the attack. We discuss plans. Packhard wants to take me off to Berea tomorrow and look after me on the journey, but I veto this not feeling capable of the necessary exertion — I have not been out of bed yet!Location
