alarmed this morning. He must have been very ill for she sent for Dr Featherstone and when she found he could not come for an hour and half she sent for Dr Dorset. She thinks now that he is out of danger. His illness was caused I believe by cold. Almost everyone is complaining it just now. I think it was only a cold Papa had on Thursday. He is much better now. I called also to see Mrs Hunter. She looks as though there had been nothing the matter with her. The baby is really a very pretty little thing, much prettier than babies usually are. The parents all seem so proud of it. I don't think its Mama will have much trouble with it as it has so many nurses. Poor Bethune has been very ill but he is getting better now. I saw him today in passing. What a stupid man
