Dr. Yost has been coming over to the lab quite regularly. People were talking about how bad he looked, but to me he looks wonderful compared to the last time I saw him in the hospital. His book on Inorganic Chemistry will be out in April, and he s pretty happy about that. I guess Horace [Russell] will be rather proud, too. He s co-author, you know. 

August 6. Part of my awftd mood is due to news Dr. Yost told me today. He came into the lab looking for some exciting news to cheer him up. He d just gotten a letter from Dick Dodson saying that Horace Russell had been thrown from a horse wasn t expected to live. He had a bad brain concussion, but no fracture. A specialist was flown in, but he said an operation would not help. There seems to be almost no hope.
