July 8th Sunday. |
Beautiful day. My arm quite lame and painful, go to factory look over key floor +c, afterwards let Georgie bathe, which seems to agree splendidly with him. In afternoon, Mayor DeBevoise & Mr. Williams call upon us, also Ziegler Eberspacher & Ester. I eat next to nothing, take Blairs pills & paint with Iodine. To bed at 9 P.M. Sleep splendidly |

Arm slightly improved, Burkard Medicin seems to affect it favorably, at noon to P. O. stop at Surrogates Court and obtain Albert Steinway's will, duly recorded, lunch at Tafelrunde, Andrew H. Green there too. With H. St. pr. buggy to Astoria, meet mother on Shore Road, little Hermann Schmidts birthday, jolly time Georgie rows boat with H. Cassebeer Paula & little Julia, quite well alone.
