JANUARY 3

1945 Stayed home this morning, reading

Ogden Hash (just received from Elaine)

and then after lunch Mother and I

went into Brooklyn to do shopping

before meeting Dad at his office. We

drove to New York and while Dad went

to the dentists Mother and I bought

me a smooth black faille suit before

having dinner at the Pennsylvania Hotel.

     After various phone calls home,

we met Bill in the Penn lobby and

we all drove Dad back to the St. George

before going home. Bill and I

talked and straightened out things

completely. I want him to come home

with all my heart , and pray that he

will be home safely and soon. We tried

hard to be gay but I finally broke

down and cried. Saying Goodbye to him

was one of the hardest things I've ever done.

I'm really in love for the first time.
