Transcription Notes
The storm abated early in the morning and we wake up to clear skies, zero temp[erature], and about 3 feet of snow altogether on the ground. I feel very tired and done up after my exertions yesterday, but manage to get through a good deal of work at my book. Maud gets up and sits in my room for a while. Dr Walker came round and had dinner with me and afterwards came up to Maud’s room — she in bed — and we spent the evening together. He brought round with him a roll of samples which he had just received from England. He collects them and has over 100 — mostly English of the 17th 18th & 19th cent[uries]. Some of them are very beautiful. He pays from 1-4£ apiece for ordinary average ones. Maud, Walker says, will soon pick up now. Her temperature is normal and it is a question mainly of being able to get out into the air and in this weather the opportunities of doing this are few.Location
