Woke at 6. 241 [asthma symptoms] a bit 1/6 [Heroin] not enough.

1 Pam

6 Coffee & . . . . Alice [Alice Florey].

2 Boiling water Tea

4 Lunch

5 Bayley [James Gilbert Bayley].

Broke last Wisdom tooth, but not quite: so jaw is inflamed, & it hurts like hell.

Bayley here.

Alice here.

M.A.S. [Maurice A. Sutherland] here.

11 1/4 Molar still worrying.

11 1/2 Took 1/6 to sleep.

This day seems the very opposite of what [I Ching hexagram] Tui 58 should bring.
