Leah Hirsig Diary Entry

Thursday, 4 December 1924

 

 

 

7.45 P.M.

     

Busy and drunk all day. 1 ANh LEW. [Anhalonium Lewinii] at 2.20 P.M.—no noticeable effect but last night (2 dr. taken at about 6 P.M.) caused awful palp[atations] of heart much later—This noted after taking first time too. To-day's was 3rd. go.

     

Letter from O.P.V. [Norman Mudd] this A.M. rather upset me and then calmed me tremendously. He's nervous, poor boy.

     

So busy—and fed at last!

     

11.50 P.M. Took 1/2 Luminal[1] at 9—no sleep.

     

Took 1/2 Luminal at 10—no sleep.

     

Took 1 cigarette at 11—no sleep.

     

Taking 3 cups of tea now.

     

I really can't settle down to any work—I am all in.

 

 

1—[Luminal is a barbiturate.]
