June 11, 1883, Monday

Had some fever last night and this morning.  Doctor called to see me.  He said I might be able to deliver lecture.  Forgot my lecture at home.  Had to send Solomon for it on horse back - which consumed 1-1/2 hours.  So did not deliver it until about 9:30 P.M.  Audience waited very politely and amiably and seemed much pleased with adress, "How to Make Life Worth Living".
