Thought I'd go to school. Went up to get Dr's permit and couldn't go. Was I ever mad! [shorthand note?] Bought drape material and finished making them that nite. Looked at catalogues and listened to radio. Leo felt better.

Felt keen. Did usual work. Listened to daily programs. Leo lots better. White pique jacket. At night listened to "1 st nighters." Surely a good war story.
