Mrs. Burton Emmett, Fifty-four Washington Mews, New York 5 arrived at 5:00 - well, of course, you were not conscious of my state of mind; why should you have been? I had dropped the subject days before - and so unclear had Jerome Blum with unclear. From then on we were just lapping up booze and my last chance for a "talk" had gone. So what you got from me - after you had your hat to go and it was too late to say anything - was just a damn foot note of incoherent disappointment. How I cursed myself for a weakling after you had gone! But thank God I'm better now - much better. I'll lick this damned thing yet. We had a lovely evening with Eleanor a few days ago. She's a corker!
