Expected to go to Mrs. Dicken’s new house with her, but she had asthma so badly that she could not leave the house. Miss Ferris came in and invited me to go down town with her which I did.
She went to the Cunard office and then we wandered among the shops and came back to lunch. Sat by my window and wrote to the dear family.
Miss Ferris invited me to walk into Park and go to the shops which I did. We had a pleasant walk, stopped to hear the band play a selection and watch the people. Paid 2 cents for a chaise. Went into a couple of shops and gazed into many shop windows.
Bought some antiphlogistine* for Mrs. Dickens and later put some on her. It was hot and she said it felt good. Did not go into the drawing room but wrote a long letter home.
*Antiphlogistine: Medicated Poultice is a time-proven Kaolin clay poultice that provides temporary relief from muscle strain, sprains, etc.
