I was sick most of the time during January. On the 28th of that month my condition became so bad that I had to be brought to the hospital, where I remained until April 11th, on which day I resumed my duties. During my absence Mr. Upham, ably assisted by Mr. James Y. Leech, was almost exclusively engaged in the entering of the Wilson collection.
