Up about 9:20 or so-Peter slept badly again-oh dear-Mrs. Davis called +we’re going there for supper with Scotty on Monday. Called the Taylors to get Dru + to say what a nice time we had + found out the announcement without the pictures was in the Tribune today. Sally Hamm called to talk to Colby having seen the announcement. Talked to me instead. Russell was off at the crack of dawn. Peter talked to Ruth Green on the phone about Jenny so they won’t meet tomorrow. They’d also talked yesterday-Peter didn’t mention the wedding as he felt sure “she knows”-I made him call back + say “You know I got married again don’t you.” Somehow things like that ought to be said I think. I t paid off a little today because she said that Jenny was very fond of me + that she (Ruth) wished us the best etc. We drove into town about 11:30 by my clock + arrived at 11:30 by everyone else’s clock. Parked in the garage under the Chem New York bldg. $3.75 for 4 hours-Had lunch with Lester + Doug Kelley + Jack Essinger of the tax department in “the panel room.” What fun. Jack rather stiff + dull but it was a very silly, pleasant lunch. Changed my signature etc. there + Peter discussed his tax problems somewhat with Jack-we didn’t leave til almost 3 o’clock. I went into the powder room + was suddenly very sick + lost my lovely lunch. Only Peter knew. Lester took us downstairs to meet Mr. Altha (?) of the loan Dept + then we drove down to Wall St. to see Louis. I asked for the air conditioning all the way as I felt ghastly. Big mistake + got a wretched cold almost immediately. Nice time with Louis-executed my will + “adopted a seal”-talked about the riots in L.A. about his exhibition of paintings etc. Left at 4 + came home. Crawled up the skwy due to an accident-Got to the house just as Mother called. They hadn’t gotten the presents yet or seen Russell yet. About 14 or 15 boxes have been shipped out to L.A. Daddy goes fishing Saturday. The announcements all went out yesterday. Peter + I went shopping for liquor for the house + replacement groceries + dinner for us + got 2 copies of the Tribune notice-Also review of the ice show all good-Came back + got in trouble with the dispose-all + had to call Russell at the Edgewood Inn. Spoke with Daddy again who loved his presents. By now my cold was in full force-dripping wheezing + just awful. Went to bed early + miserable.
