Friday, June 4th

DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY I began to feel quite queer after pushing hard to get a small weeding job done in the garden. Lee Blair was coming for dinner, but after my bath I felt absolutely “gone” and had to lie down. I got through dinner like a person in a dream, and only when I was in bed feeling feverish, discovered that I had 102° fever. So I guess sheer exhaustion has finally set in. I spent yesterday in bed, being ministered to by Lee. It was wonderful that she was here, to fetch the mail, bring me chicken soup, walk Tamas, and fill the house with her silent, beautiful presence. How I wish she could find the house she dreams of finding!
