MAY 1

1945  Another pleasant day

spent quietly at the Lodge with

Mother.  Cary was with us most of

the day and then Beth, Elaine

and Louise came up for

dinner.  We had a grand time

just talking.

     Biggest shock came when

Gladys Boyd called – visions

of all sorts of Government Messages

[Rached?] through my mind – but

it was just cuz they hadn’t

heard from Bill in over 3 weeks.

I tried to convince them not

to worry though I was rather

weakkneed myself by then –

and not too coherent, I fear!

     Hitler reported dead!
