Every body is so good and kind and everyone seems so jolly and so happy this evening." She kept herself busy. "I worked all yesterday afternoon and evening until nearly midnight and was down stairs this morning at 8.15 which is fully half an hour earlier than usual. From the time I got down I just hustled from one thing to another - mail, letters, dictation, helping the boys (on the front desk) something continually and the things came as fast as to make my head whirl for a while.

"Do the girls know w my films of the bridal suites down are. I want them now and have not got them with me. Please send them if you find them, She expresses disatisfaction at how the hotel is managed, "The way things go is enough to try the temper of a saint. When I first got I want(ed) to explode at the way I saw things going but after two or three gentle reprimands from the manager I shut my teeth and hold it in. If it's two bad I go and talk it over with Miss Suyllivan or Mr. Moody. But truly, I do think Mr. Berry has got the most angelic disposition of any one I know.
