In the afternoon we went out to the Jesters - I took some roses. I was allowed to go up to visit her for a while. She is a charming peroxide blond and in spite of having been ill such a long time, she received me most graciously. Her bed room was most tastefully arranged, and unlike most women, she had not allowed illness to deprive her of a well groomed appearance.
