other two on the film) Mr. Heal gave me a letter from Edith. The river is not so high yet as it was two years ago when Mama & I came home from Dansville, but the bridge was black along the edges with people looking at it. Took Claude's office (private) 3 views & a view from our front window (at Gilmore's request) as the houses are to be altered into stores. I walked up with Mary this noon. River still rising tonight, Edith came up & spent an hour on so, when she went I read "his (Throbby!) Letters." Apr. 1. Wed. A dark day - a little rain - and the river so high we couldn't get down Exchange St. from above Edinburgh to below Troup! They had boats down by the lead works (cor. Edinburgh) and took people out of their houses that way. No cars running, of course. I walked "around blocks" all day. Took a picture of Martha & Willie on the roof (skylight) looking at "Life". Timed a couple at Glasgow St. (the round house) in the dark, at noon. To- night Willie & Crump walked up with me. The water was the highest yet- up to the "U" in "Upton" on the sign opposite Adams St. Down town people are moving out of their cellars (Woodbury, Lane & Paine Weaver, &c.) & all the fire engines in the city & a number of hand pumps are at at work on the various basements. The 4 corners in black with smoke & fog. Read & sewed tonight - Very tired. Note from Ned.
