Dearest Trudie
I can went into the city early this morning, fixed No I. etc. Then, I spent the day working over the papers,—records etc. of the various names eligible for selection in the Medical Corps. It it is a real big job and a very tedious one—reading over the long records and there are over 200—Morton Schwartz had lunch with me, and afterwards I fixed a lame knee for him—He is after Mr. Schwab for a job now.
To-night—I dined with Ned McLean. Others present were Mr. Ross, Col. Livingston head of the ship yards at Alexandria, a Mr. Wiley—of the Cincinnati Enquirer—Mr Fox of the Washington Post, Hon. Raymond T. Baker and Jack Biddle. It was a very enjoyable evening. I left a few minutes after nine.
That Board duty is terribly tir exhausting. All of us complain of feeling fagued out at the end of the day.
At 5.30 I went for a gallop on Misty Morn which made me feel much better. Then, I went to see No the President. He is feeling fine and can breathe better than ever through this side of his nose. That sounds like wonderful news to my ears. He went to Polis theater to-night.
I hope that you are feeling all right my darling, I think of you and wish to see and talk to you so constantly. I shall be happy when we are back in 1600—The weather is fine here now—but indications it will turn warmer to-morrow.
Good night, sweetheart. Love to Gordon, and love and kisses to Trudie—from
Your very, very devoted
