Washington, D.C. June 15, 1936
Dear Bess:
Well after searching the desk from truck to keelson we found the pass. It was sticking in a little book on the campaign I'd been carrying around and had almost thrown away a time or two. You'll have ball passes enough to last you for the season I hope. Here is a bill from Margie's school. Shall I pay it? I thought you might want a cookbook too.
It is surely lonesome at that apartment without you. Elsie called me and said she was out when I called and was not in bed. They are coming after the picture and lamp tonight. The Senate did nothing today. I had lunch with McAdoo. He's been treated shamefully by the President. He said people had been appointed in California who were his (Mc's) bitterest enemies. We had a very pleasant lunch discussing our troubles. He's a smart old bird and I think would still like to run for President.
I'll get my bonus bonds tonight and will lock them up. Shall we send Miss Margie to school with them or make a payment on a house?
Kiss the baby, Harry
