A dream—

On an expedition with Moe, Young, and others (unidentified) of the Guggenheim Jury, into the Appalachian Mts, in search of rare botanical specimens. We found several groups of strange Jack-in-the-pulpit growing at the bases of huge mossing beeches. The odd feature was seed pods containing large seeds resembling buckeyes. I went to bed last night with some misgivings, but this morning my eyes were rested, the double image gone. But reading makes me tired & sleepy, and my eyes ache.
