couldn't make it. So had dinner at O'Conner's, a swell place to eat - lamb chops 1 1/2" thick - and some Black Horse ale which carried me right back to the Chateau Frontenac and that little inn in on on the Montreal-Ottawa road. There were no movies I wanted to see and I had an hour before I could get on the sleeper, so wandered into the Ten Eyck bar for a couple of beers. It was roisterous in there and one guy yelled "This is on the United Press!"  So I figured the legislature is going again and the newspaper men are at it. Then to the B&A sleeper and to bed.

    Found Roy is in Erie so finally cut loose from Neil Donovan, who didn't seem to know what to tell me to do, and went down to see Jack Tobin. Neil said the B&M had now "asked" us to make a small diesel study & Larry Richardson would father it but he didn't want me to see Larry & I couldn't make head nor tail to it so went ahead as if he hadn't told me anything. Sometimes I find both Neil and Roy hard to understand - it's the way they have of talking somehow. I got all smoothed out with Jack on the Alco dope and told him my plans for the small study - all okay. Took him to lunch at last too. Went in to see Dave Reid a minute, thanked him for making the Mechanicville arrangements. He said it was allright but Goggin didn't tell him about it
