Transcription Notes
In the morning Maud and I walk to the Carnegie library & have an interesting talk with librarian. A very poor collection of ballads and not a single volume with music. Then feeling still no better although weather is now quite cold, 50 or lower, call in Dr Packhard’s friend Dr Cowley the College Dr. He examines me very thoroughly and thinks I have had mild tubercle for 20 years or more thus accounting for recurrent attacks of Flue in the past and the present. Strongly advises X-ray on my chest. Prepares to inject arsenic into me, but I promptly veto this. A nice, clean & sincere man but like all doctors full of one idea — in his case incipient tuberculosis from which he suffers himself. In the afternoon Miss Lilian Ogle and Miss Mayene Baker come in & sing me some songs.Location
