Raw disagreeable morning I
rode to Riverside on horseback this
morning to see Bro Richard and was
called again by telephone towards
evening and drove over as rapidly
as I well could, expecting to find
him much worse, but could not see
that he was much (if at all) worse
than usual except in imagi-
nation. I reached home in time
for supper

It rained harsh from soon after

this morning + continued at intervals
all day well until after sunset where
it cleared off and the moon shone
