Ms B came up late Friday evening -
Saturday afternoon we drove across
the river to Hick's & Pierpont's - Mrs Viele
came last evening with Mrs Grant -
This morning the two Myers & Townsends
Ella McLean - Mrs & Miss
Tracy - Grace & I at parade & the two hotels-
and I had thought to begin this journal
at sea -
Monday Sep 5th - 313 W 22d St New York
Went to Bayside Thursday last - with
nurse & baby - Annie & Jenny - Mrs
Fred & her children were away -
Fred came Friday night & again
Saturday with Mr Hearing - Mr B
came Saturday - we all took tea at
Mary Mickle's - I came to town this
morning - but first to the Dr's - He
confirmed what the Dr at Bonn said -
that Jenny has an organic trouble of the
heart - the upper valve does not
close properly - as though the leather [?] of a pump he said was out
of order - there was no reason she
would not outgrow it entirely in
ten years she must be careful
not to take cold & wear woolens -
she has always looked so perfect a
picture of health - face & form
seemed fit for a statue of the
goddess of youth or childhood
He thinks more than two years
ago she must have had rheumatism
of the heart- probably
that time in Baltimore when
she suffered with her ar[--]s
She is at least better now than at
Long Branch - Where she was helpless
almost a week - Today, excepting some
loss of color, she looks as well as ever.
Enich Brown had her birthday party
Monday evening Sep 5th. Jenny &
Annie persuaded me to stay over -
they looked sweetly in pink & blue
gauze dresses with boots & shoes to
