of this typical (from the human side) day at Cranbrook - Poyo phoned from Boston. He had just been judging the Roach [[Roche]] Scholarship architectural competition - & was by far the youngest judge. - That night at the dinner he had to make a speech to 200 grey heads - architects, [[strikethrough]] the [[/strikethrough]] wives, & their guests. He phoned from Singer's house - & Singer spoke to me also. He said Poyo had done a wonderful job, & far better than the usual yearly speakers. Good for little Poyo! He is capable of all things.

I longed to be there, & have now missed two trips with him, which kills me. I had to announce my state - & when I hung up - burst into tears [[strikethrough]] la [[/strikethrough]] all over again!

By now I have had 6 days in bed - 20 visitors
