"Osceola" to prescribe for
Jno M Smith. I took Edwd
with me intending to drive
on over to Riverside but
found I could not bear
the heat & came home.
Afternoon Charley & Willie
went to Riverside again
to have a "swim". Thunder
gusts passed both north
& south of us and it is
cooler since. Miss Mary
Fowler was in to consult me
(soon after breakfast) about
her aunt Lizzie and I went
over to see after her in the
evening. I am quite anxious
about her case.

home to see J M Smith again
