Lovely spring day. Meta drives out with her papa and Mama. Willie is up and very wild. I feel much better and light in my legs, can walk again, and it seems to me that the Johannis Water which de Frece sent me and which I have been drinking for 3 days past is exerting a favorable influence upon me |
