[[strikethrough]] WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1936 [[/strikethrough]] 113th Day 253 Days to come Mar 29th - S.S. Wash It was interesting at lunch today with Mr & Mrs Davis & Admiral Stanley. I asked Mr D what he thought of Dartington Hall, & he said it sounded very interesting; but of course giving people every opportunity isn't what causes the greatest accomplishments.
