THURSDAY.
While walking across a rug this morning in his study with the assistance of his cane ---look into the history of the rug --- the rug has a number of figures embroidered in it, such as the Washington Monument, the Capitol, Niagara Falls --- the President walked over the drawing of Niagara Falls, and he turned to me and said: “Doctor, that is not a bad stunt for a lame fellow to walk over Niagara Falls this morning.”
