August 27, 1912

Went into Boston with Harvey 
when he went to work.  Did a 
little shopping. Got the ten twenty
train for Wellesley and had dinner
at Dr. Wiswalls. Had such a good
time seeing everybody. Mrs. Hardwick
came into Boston with me in the
 evening and her brother Will C______
met us at the station.  He took us to
 the Theatre where we saw "The Million"
played.  I left Boston for New York
on the midnight train so Mr. C. and
Mrs. Hardwick waited and saw me
off. Victoria Cameron came to
the train to say good bye.

(Note: Dr. Wiswall was Edward H. Wiswall MD, superintendent of the Wellesley Nervine, Grove Street, Wellesley, Mass.; opened for patients in 1897. Number of beds, 29. This sanatorium was for the treatment of nervous, alcoholic and mildly insane cases. Supported by pay of patients, per an old entry related to treatment facilities in Massachusetts.  We'll hope that Georgie was having dinner at his home, not at his facility!)
