Lovely cool day. To New York with the new horses, get into a towering rage learning that the servants have cut down the four trees under a mistaken Idea that my wife had ordered it. I lunch at Hotel Dam. Am much improved and walk better, though still feeling strain in my right arm, Papa Ranft, my wife and Paula visit steamer Ems at Hoboken, we all take 6 P.M. boat to Astoria my appetite is good. In my cars to Flushing Ave. Meeting with W. H. Williams, we resolve to construct balance of sewer in East End of Ave. and forthwith macademize Flushing Ave. Home at 10½ PM Sleep splendidly |
