on return, pretty successfully.
  22.  Tuesday.   Tried to draw without a walk, got

Boarding House Physiology.
  23.  Wednesday.  To Young Sam Office.  Powell,
Abbott and Rosenburg there.  Out with them.  Called in

wife, a tall, dark haired young woman, (and child.) He

  24. Thursday. Down town for a walk to Fowler
and Wells, back to writing and so on till late at night.
Had a letter from Heylyn. (Doing nothing.)
  25.  Friday.  Down town.   Fowler &c, �Young Sam�s�
Post Office, Strongs and Greatbatchs papers &c.   Return
