A most perfect day but I was obliged to keep bed most of it. I walked down to Hospital + along to Priory but felt very shivery + unwell. My temp. was 101° yesterday but only 100 today. Helen1 cycled to Newhouse + Dora2 to Yarrowford + Broadmeadows to enquire for the patients in the afternoon. Do. [Dora] + I did some posting [accounts].
