En route to Erie.

[[red check mark and bullet point]] 
I was still tired again today - not enough sleep last night - I've got to cut out the dissipation. Spent a rather quiet day cleaning the desk, trying to straighten out a determination covering 60 - 10 ton Plymouths for U.S.S.R which had a wholly cockeyed bill of material. It was quiet around the office with most of the gang up in the "slave pen" working on the material flow job.

[[red bullet point]] Checked out of the Carlton and am lined up at the Wardman Park next Monday thanks to Ed and Vic. Am surprised that Cap Horn and Miss Peters let me and Jack Casey stay as long as we did at the Carlton occupying 50% of the G.E. permanent rooms. Went to bed about 10:15 after a quiet evening on the Puddlejumper.

Erie, Pa.
Friday, Oct. 2, 1942.

[[red check mark over red bullet point]] Willie and Mother met me; Mother hasn't been so well and had to see Dr. Hart but is better now. Willie has had a cold but retains her 5 pounds and looks well, and seems to be in a good frame of mind. She was somewhat disturbed because she had mashed a fender on "Dodgun" backing out of the garage, and had bought Maybelle's gas stove, a beauty, since Maybelle has gone to Buffalo to really take up nursing in earnest. I relieved her mind about these two things and made her feel at ease. She was delighted about my raise and the only thing to mar the homecoming was the return of my bladder trouble, caused I suppose by a slight cold and a general rundown caused by too much living this week. Also, I had ham and eggs last night which might have set it off. I say now that the next time I get in the clear, I'm going to take care of myself; apparently I've developed a weakness that has got to be babied for a while until I throw it off completely.
