Aug. 30, Sun.
To church. Had to leave during the sermon on account of coughing.
P.M. – Visit from Dr. & Mrs. Arbesman + young son David + a Dr. & Mrs. Sheldon from Ann Arbor Michigan – (I was wheezing the whole time) – a visit that in most ways was very enjoyable. Dr. Arbesman was interested in how I went about my painting and why I did certain things etc. Mrs. Sheldon was one of those unfortunate persons who can not only see faces and other objects where they are not, but also must insist on airing their “discoveries” and arguing about them.
