  Dearest love: I've been feeling bad - but I've decided that it's just that I'm lonesome for you. Let's make a rigid rule that I go no place without you. I wish that you were here with me - but I've been busy. Chow (Priscilla's Chinese) is here, also Oliphant. Mr. Eaton is an interesting fellow. We met all afternoon, planning an agenda. The Russians, Topchiev and others, are to come tomorrow - they missed their plane. There is snow on the ground here, but its not very cold, about 31°. Pearson has just lost the election. I wish that you were here. It would be worth the money - any amount! I love you. I think that I'll telephone yoou & then go to bed.
