New York, N.Y. Thursday, Dec. 22, '38. Spent the day at 30 Church St. going over the B&M report dope with Murphy and Greenberg. They had various additional pieces of information they wanted. Some of it seemed okay to me and some seemed a little superfluous, but I didn't argue. They're writing the report and I'll get them anything I can and they want. So it means another trek to Mechanicville among other places that most of it I can get from Jack Tobin in Boston when I get back there after New Year's Day. The whole thing made me a bit sensitive however; I wondered if they felt I had made a dud on my part of it etc. etc. However, it's easier to look over a bunch of dope and think of additional information than to get 100% of the information yourself to begin with. I've never seen a report yet where you didn't have to check up additional points later. I have a tendency to feel that if I haven't done a perfect job, I've done a poor one. That is rather silly. There isn't one man in 100 who does a thing perfectly no matter what it is. If he does it well above average, then he has nothing to be ashamed of. I'm too sensitive, I guess. Got a couple of phonograph records, a sapphire needle, a record book, had an early dinner, spent an hour in Grand Central Theater, caught the 8:15 and went to bed at about 9:30 for a good long nights sleep. Four out of the last five nights on the sleeper.
