Black despair + boredom seem to engulf me I cannot throw off fear + depression.
a.m. to Buffalo – to [unintelligible] check + to market –
Word in the mail that Martin [Bertha’s brother] is to be married Saturday and wants to visit us Sunday with his bride.
p.m., B+I pick out a picture as a wedding present (October Storm) – also two prints for the two [Louise’s?] (recently married - -)
Evening put in Trilliums, etc.
