the front door of the old (even in the 20's) red brick joint. One saw it coming into the old NYC station, the one that was torn down around 1931. Jack London also did time there - for panhandling while hungry.
Re the O'Connor Travel Bureau and Celtic Society: I bought passage (s) for my wife and myself on Cunard Line's steamer, SYVANIA in 1965 to Cobh (old Queenstown). This ship goes regularly, all year 'round to Boston from NY, thence to Cobh and winds up in Liverpool, a real Irish-traffic vessel. O'Connor moved north and west a few years ago. Somehow got this connection with the Celtic Society. I gave your name to the outfit when it seemed that you'd be going again. U.S. law requires that to take advantage of group or club charter flights, one must belong to the group sponsoring the flight at least six months. There's a way to get around that, and the Irish do, but the Chgo. council on Foreign Relatons [sic] are stiff about it, else I'd be thinking of going underlined: that way. O'Connor and Celtic are legit, and probably about as reasonable as charters go in this area. I've heard that the K of C has a few charters in summer also, don't know their prices. I'm glad (resuming the hospital biz) that your kidney complaint was checked. I was a bedwetter in childhood, would go to sleep and not know even if I floated. From the time I went to work nights on the railroad I've never wetted, now get up several times each night. One doctor had the theory that because I could free myself of water frequently in yard service, my body got used to frequent urination, that bleeding cars was like turning on a water faucet for me, but I can never stand at a urinal alongside someone else and perform. I don't like to accept invitations to stop with friends because I fear I'd annoy them by arising and walking around too much at night. Two more copies of THE LISTENER arrived when the mail did show up today - after I got one ready for you, so another one will soon be on the way to you, though dates are not in sequence due to the mail blockade recently.
Best wishes, Mead P.S. Just after being re-elected, underlined: Mare [sic] Daley said he was all for Lt. Calley!! Yes, the underlined: peepul [sic] stagger on, never think a thought. Most never read.
