colonels. The trip there was delightful and the scenery swell. The car just slipped through the little thatched villages and purred up the hills. Tommy, his driver, is a good one. We got there just in time & went in. Our seats were in the fifth row right in the center, and the Lieutenant-Colonels sat elsewhere. The theater is very nice & very modern, about 1937, I think. The play was "As You Like It," and we did -- very much. The characters were all perfect, and the house enthusiastic. Afterward we drove back by moonlight, which the blackout made more beautiful. He took me over to sign in and then walked me to my door, thanking me several times for going with him.

I heard from Roberta today, and the poor girl has to have another goiter operation. Jimmy is in France she says.
The alert at my last letter's end was for the expected cause. Not too near.
Tomorrow afternoon I'm going to hear Yehudi Menuhin. Jay & Joyce & Edna [Bose?] & I are going to Plymouth Tuesday to Friday, as Jay got her four day pass. I told Col.
