Lily Darling At noon I got off the train here I made a B-line for the ski skool - they had slalom races so I joined so by two pm I had a number in back and front - and raced for the first time, and ran a slalom for the first time and actually I did not do too badly because on the basis of this they put me in the next to the highest class - they have six categores or classes and I am in #5. All this pleases me. I plan to stay in class for about two days and then before I leave I plan to take a private guide - If there is such a thing around to go over all the runs so that nobody can say - OH you should have gone down such and such a run. STOP I called Joe who has to meet me in N.Y. and told him [[strikethrough]] that past [[/strikethrough]] not to come to airport and also not to come on same plane back - this will give us chance to talke- I have not really seen Davos yet — except the town — from all I gather the real place to stay nowadays is not Davos but Klosters down the run there is supposed to be a very nice hotel but I could not get reservation there.

It looks as [[strikethrough]] th [[/strikethrough]] if the next visit on UNESCO will not be a 2 week affair — but split in two one week trips — one the very end of March the next the very end of April — both running over onto the next month.
