Vancouver March 13 - Sunday At 10 A.M. Drtn Andrews called and then we walked nearly five miles through the Stanley Park and its principal forest of giant trees, Douglas Firs, White Cedars, some of which were about (85 feet at base) 6 far as to base and turned 200 far high. He then asked me to lunch at the C.P.R.R. hotel - Van- couver - We started at 2 P.M. At 4 P.M. Drtn Jaffield called with his car and wife and with Andrews we went to Drtn Williams' home to a reception in my honor. The President of the Univ- Clinic was there with his wife and about a dozen couples more all of the University. The reception came to an end at 6 P.M. Andrews and I remained and at 9 P.M. we had a light dinner. By this time I was so tired out and bored by the incessant talk - even if interesting - that I had to finally admit that I was tired out and wanted to retire. Started to Innisfree Hotel at 11 P.M.
