Ther [Thermometer] Wednesday, Feb. 19, 1919 [February 19, 1919] Wea [Weather]
20 [degrees] Fine
Brilliantly clear & frostily
cold with brisk northerly
to westerly wind, dying
at sunset.
  Although sleeping well last
night I awoke this morning
weak & nervous so spent whole 
forenoon in bed. Leaving
it at noon I dressed & walked
down Brattle St. to Sparks St.
but even this slight exertion
so exhausted me that I was 
glad enough to get back into
the house again. Yet
Dr. Stevens could find nothing
seriously wrong when he came
to see me in mid P.M.
Besides composing a rather
difficult letter to Mass. Fish
& Game Comm. [Massachusetts Fish and Game Commission] about permits
I wrote nothing all day.
E. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] made a round of calls in
P.M. & read a little after supper.
