Transcription Notes
Terribly hot. Breakfast at 8 wrote letters etc in the morning, rested after lunch when a terrific thunderstorm burst over N[ew] York, one of the fiercest I have ever seen, with hail & tropical downpour. After tea we went to supper with Miss Hinman near Columbia University where I had a bad attack of asthma and only got home with difficulty — probably because of the very humid & heavy air after the rain. I could hardly breathe for some hours till I got back and burnt some of my [....?] powder. Miss Foss & Miss Rout at supper. Quite a nice little party though very little to eat! Went to bed early.Location
