[[underline]] Jan 30. [[/underline]] Wind calmed but cloudy, went out [[underline]] sailing in Pram [[/underline]]
[[underline]] Jan 31. [[/underline]] (Sunday) Bright calm morning
[[underline]] Feb 1, 1926 [[/underline]] Had outspoken talk with [[underline]] Petersen [[/underline]] leaving him choice to resign or I dismissing him in case he repeats [[underline]] surliness. [[/underline]] Seems to understand me better and begins to know with whom he has to deal. Trouble with these men is that they are overawed with "four flushers" and do not understand the class of men who lead a modest life and do not all the time impress them with [[underline] wealth or power [[/underline]]. That makes the strength of [[underline]] monarchies 
George had 3 men [[/underline]] ready for me in New York to join me in case I discharged my crew. Wired him do not need them

Transcription Notes:
(Don't think transcribers are supposed to delete notes that have been posted here. I originally transcribed this page and used the past tense 'underlined' and left the following post as to why I used this. Apparently someone followed and removed the 'd' from underline as well as the note that I had posted before. This seems a huge waste of time, instructions say to use 'underlined' not 'underline'. Frustrated with this, I never edit to add a 'd' if someone transcribes 'underline'. !!! [[Previous Note: I use past tense 'underlined' with a 'd' because that is my understanding from the instructions. It seems a waste of time to edit just to remove the 'd' in 'underlined'. If I review and the transcriber just uses 'underline' I do not add the 'd'
