Transcription Notes
My foot very painful in the night so go to Dr Vansing[?] 515 Park Ave[nue] (corner of 60th St[reet]) in the morning. He pronounces it a typical case of gout, gives me medicine — iodide & colchicum — tells me about diet and prescribes complete rest of 2 or 3 days. I taxi home and wait for Maud who has been to her doctor for the second inoculation. She is rather knocked up by the operation so we are a pretty crocked pair at lunch. I spend the afternoon in finishing off Army book drawing figures for the hey- diagrams etc. Bradley comes to dinner and announces that he has joined the Army as first lieut[enant] in the Sanitary Corps, and goes to Washington on Tuesday next. This strikes the knell, most effectually, of my Yale aspirations. We have a long talk on general matters in my room upstairs I with my foot on a pillow feeling very old and fearful of the future.Location
