Apartuent 15-A 29 Washington Square, West New York, New York Tuesday Joe dearest, It was good to get your little note written Sunday here & I am keeping my fingers crossed for you & Trude. I dropped her at the house this morning. She looked better, but she phoned (illegible) today. Peter had a cough & Mickey the sniffles. At the time she cane in I had just left. She is not worried about the children. Mrs. Troy had called her & she wanted to see her. She was annoyed to find that it was largely curiosity about Madam Chiang which brought about the call! How little people are sometimes! Mr. Weias (7) spent an hour this morning with me & he is really a big person! Remind me to tell you the whole Marshall Field & Congress Rask (7) situation next time we are together. It is too long & complicated to write, but you would be interested I think. Mr. Weiss told me his daughter had a bad time & he's (illegible) trying to get a job in Washington. Melvyn Douglas came to see me last night saying that he had heard he might not be allored to go to officer's training school because of his past record & another man was denied his commission the last day because he had been a labor organizer. Today's P.M, carries a story on the War Dept. School (illegible) which grew fron my suggestion of investigation I surmise & ig rather (illegible). I feel, ag you gather, a bit depressed, but it makes me want to fight harder. I spoke at Barnard this noon and now mst go to the Girl Scouts. Hildur Coon (2) is going to Rocketter instead of June. 1I'11 see Trude when I get back on Thursday & I hope I can send you a letter by her. Then I'd like you to move the next week! I enclose an interview which may amuse you. The mem from a young man in B.E.W. I want your reaction on. We want S. American trade, but wouldn't these methods be somewhat difficult? Al. my love dear, E. R. - 63-0 ~ Typed copy of 61, 62 & 63
