We went out to the Piping Rock Club for lunch. It has been a quiet day,
and I have finished up correspondence and odds and ends. My letter to the
President, enclosing some cables, is a part of the diary. Minister Pleasant
A. Stovall called yesterday to report on Switzerland from whence he has just

My letters to the President, his memorandum to me enclosing a cable from

Marshall Field, Worthington Whitehouse and Craig Wadsworth.

Rabbi Wise called to show a cablegram he had received from Weitzman
of London. He was surprised to know that I had already seen it and had sent
