(1993 August)
I am very lonely now for some odd reason. I mentioned it to one of the "bosses" and she said there was nothing she could do for me, and so were many others, and besides she had a lot of work of her own to do. I really laughed - what an answer.

Entertainment
(1993 August)
A tall girl evidently in charge of entertainment came in to ask me if I'd like to go for a walk. I said, "Are you serious? In 90 degree weather?" "Oh," said she, "I was thinking we'd sit under the shade trees." I said that was where all the mosquitoes were, and she smiled and left, having tried. I was abed, too.

Sunday supper
(1993 August)
About 6 p.m. and I think I'll soon go to bed and read. Warm and inevitable. Sunday supper is usually a sandwich and a cup of soup like bouillion, dish of apricots for salad. About it.

Bella
(1993 August)
There is a large maid here, a little odd, Bella, I think. Many girls who come in exclaim over pretty plants on my window sill; so one day when she came in, I asked her if she would like to water them, and she said, O No - she never went around them.

Chapel
(1993 August)
It may be well for you to remember in this place I go downstairs to chapel Sundays at 4 p.m. to 4:30 [so don't phone me then]. To avoid standing, which is hard for me, I usually say yes to a wheelchair, and the chairs go on the elevator very well. It is a little like church - a hymn and a prayer and a sermon, and back up in the elevator, which I am not overly fond of.

Tension
(1993 August)
I am sorry to have to say I have the heebee-jeebees today. What brings on these spasms of nervousness and what causes them to leave, Heaven knows. It is utterly silly to think of your even calling when you get this, as by that time all will be OK. The nearest thing to this is how you felt, Skip, first days at Ripon. Utterly tense.

Get-well rimes
(1993 August 3, for Sherry)
Heard you were sick
Hope you get well quick;
Don't ride too fast
Nor work too long;
Try to stay healthy,
This is my song.
Heard you were sick
Hope you get well quick;
Don't ride too fast
Nor work too long;
Try to stay healthy,
This is my song.
