July 7
It teemed this morning, but in raincoat and
boots I braved the elements and went in to
work as usual. Nothing exciting happened –
excepting that (miracle of miracles!) I got
out at 5:00 tonight. I felt like raising
the flag and orating a speech on
the beauty of people who get their
mail in early enough for me to finish
early. It was the first, and probably
the only time, that I ever walked
out of 393 7 Ave at the right moment.
Daddy and Mother met me at the
Forest Hills station and we had dinner
at the Fish Grotto. The shrimp creole
I chewed was delicious!
I got an invitation to Carolyn Harley’s
shower for Connie Korn, and a letter
from Punchy and Bill Boyd. Punchy’s job
with the Air Corps sounds perfect.
Bill’s letter was perky indeed – such
a nice boy!
