Sweetheart,

The waves are rolling high to-day, but I am proudly holding my equilibrium still.The President’s cold is now beginning to show marked improvement. We walked about three miles to-day. Went to a moving picture show in the evening. I have frequent talks with Mr. H. White—“Quite right, quite right.” He is certainly a nice old gentleman. He says that this makes his fifth Peace Conference. I asked George Creel to name the others—excepting Algecaric—; his reply that the other three must have been domestic. It is amusing to hear G. Creel’s comments on H. White and vice versa.

My darling, I miss you terribly; time and distance makes it worse every day. I hope that you are taking good care of your darling, dear, self. A little walk every day and don’t catch cold. If you and Gordon will keep well I shall be very happy. Please call Mr. Martin in Mr McAdoos office and ask him for our portion of the bill for express of Kelly from White Sulphur. Original bill was about $60—A few days before I left Price told me our part was about $3000. It Martin handles Mr McAdoo’s private accounts and this was turned over to him. Telephone Main 6400—

Saturday.

It is very warm to-day. Have been reading magazines and with Americans—Past and Present. Nice talk with Ambassador Davis. Went through abandon ship Drill. Most of the ladies are not visible to-day. Sea very rough. President & Mrs. W. are excellent sailors, made a tour of inspection over entire ship from top to bottom. Wonderful the efficient & quick repair of machinery—wrecked by Germans.
