covered and he asked me to think if that were all. When we concluded there was
nothing more, he called his stenographer and dictated the message in full.
He has one of the best ordered minds I have ever come in contact with, <del>and</del>
although he is always complaining of forgetfulness. He said last night that he
did not see how anyone could write an autobiography from memory. As a matter of
fact, they cannot, unless a diary is kept.
At nine o'clock we took a walk from Fifty-third Street to Seventh Avenue
and down Seventh to Broadway. We stopped at several places where crowds were col-
lected to hear harangues, and as soon as he was discovered, we would pass along.
By the time we reached Herald Square a great throng was following us, consequently
we went in the 34th Street door of the Waldorf, went up in the elevator, crossed
to the 33rd Street side and went out there, continuing our walk down Fifth Avenue
to 26th Street where we took a motor bus back to Fifty-third Street.
The President seemed to enjoy himself thoroughly and said he would give any-
thing if he could get out and be lost in the crowd. I suggested the next time he
came I would have some whiskers for him. He thought that a great idea, but later
said it would cause a terrible scandal if it were found out. He left me in doubt
as to whether he wanted the whiskers or not.
When we reached home he began to tell me how lonely and sad his life was
since Mrs. Wilson's death, and he could not help <add>wishing</add > <del>thinking</del> when we were out tonight
that someone would kill him. He has told me this before. His eyes were moist
when he spoke of not wanting to live longer, and of not being fit to do the work
he had in hand. He said he had himself so <del/> disciplined that he knew perfect-
ly well that unless someone killed him, he would go on to the end doing the best
he could.
He went to bed about half past ten but I remained up until nearly twelve,
assorting my correspondence so that I might bring anything of importance to his
attention in the morning.
