Cloudy and threatening this morning. . . . All Fools' day.
Soldiers sent companies to get pay out of time; bogus dispatches and the like.
I hear that Dr. Joe is in his trouble by consent of Scammon.
Was he induced to ask for his examination? If so, how foolish! I can hardly be
angry, and yet [I am] vexed outrageously. He [Scammon] has been operated on,
used. Surely he wouldn't do such a thing if he was wide-awake.
