Dear Dairy

Somewhat better to-day. My patient wasn't quite so rambuncious as yesterday. Tonight Anne & Byron & I went for a walk, To the laundry & into two gift shops,- where I bought a tape measure in the cutest little brass bunny and the darlingest little book mark, black ribbon with a darling old fashioned lead.

Came Home through the park and had oranges - apples & nuts in Anne's room.

Awfully mild today almost Sixty. Had card from George Ahern & someone who didn't sign their name.
