on a several days evaluating project of the Sterling High School. Until this after he had written me that if I should happen to come home on the days he planned to be gone, he would make other arrangements and be home when I came. Our good friends, Helen and Val Fischer, however, were waiting to snatch me off the train. If I had but known I certainly would have stayed a day or two longer in Rochester as I should have under my circumstances. I was not a little put out, for there I was in middle of January, moved in all alone at 6x6 Thirteenth - after six weeks at St Mary's. From then things went along very badly indeed! Food didn't go; medicines didn't go. Nothing went right. I slipped back into a regimen of half and half and defiantly dared anyone to touch my milk and cream bottle, and take away my hourly feedings. The old stomach was very improperly uneasy and not only was getting nowhere, but was actually retrograding. With an activation of stomach symptoms, the head of course, must spin in unison; and it does! With me they must ever gyrate in harmony. When the stomach symptoms were seasonally busy we are told to subside and be calm, but at such times it is twice as hard as ordinarily to sit on the craw. Who could be tranquil with so much industry grinding away upon the inside? The excited, occupied brain gets too many wonderful ideas, that may in truth not be disregarded. The summer of 1940 there was the logical time to think in terms of a New York exhibition. Accordingly, propositions went forward for my debut in the great city in October. Canvas
