Because it was an uneventful day, there’s not much for Dart to write – so he says he’ll print instead.

He spent the entire day shrouded in his p.j.s, bathrobe, woolen socks, and a flannel collar in an attempt to ward off the chest cold that’s been plaguing him.

He engaged in a couple of sedentary pursuits throughout the day; reading and music appreciation. The former consisted of his psychology chapters, plus skimming most of “Beloved Friend,” the story of Tchaikovsky’s troubled life.  He wrote and typed the required report for his psychology class. The only other activity of the day was listening to lots of good music. “I found your little radio to be a most pleasant companion today. It has brought a continuous stream of good music, interrupted only by Winchell.”

After a hot bath, it’s off to bed for this boy. He wishes his Darling good night.
