a dangling broken leg, has

Miss Allyn only guest at dinner
Walking up Brattle St at 3 P.M.
I overtook George & Mary Deane.
We kept on together almost to
Elmwood & George further but
Mary turned back & I escorted 
her home. Went thence to the
Spelmans & remained there until
6 P.M. when I called on the
Bruces, staying half an hour.
Usual family evening in hall.

 Cambridge - Boston.
Ther [Thermometer] Monday, Feb. 18, 1918 [February 18, 1918] Wea [Weather]
5 [degrees], 30 [degrees] Fine
Brilliantly clear with crisp, dry
air devoid of chill & almost windless.
  Garden birds. An unseen Chickadee
heard calling - naught else.
  Worked on Umbagog M.S. [manuscript] until
12.30 & then started for Boston
with some doubt of reaching it,
because of dizziness & faintness,
attending my slow progress down
lower Sparks Street. These conditions
threatened me with total collapse
in Washington St. Subway where I
ran into people and clung to posts, 
gasping for breath. On reaching our
office I spent half an hour on the
couch and then went to Thompson's 
spa for lunch. Feeling better after that
I read, signed & swore to Mass [Massachusetts]
personal & fiduciary income tax
returns which Galloupe had prepared.
Mr. Bemis kindly brought me home
in his Simplex car. After reaching there
I wasted two more hours on M.S. [manuscript]
