Lillian went to Alexanders with Sylvia and got her a blouse, skirt and belt. Later I called for Eugene then Molly Lil & I drove down to Beth Israel where we saw Shirley and the baby. He is out of danger and very adorable.  
 
Dad left space for the second Davis Cup match score, but didn't fill it in. He also left out the final two sets of the first match, and the score he has is incorrect, as is the score of the fourth match.

Sylvia babysat with Norma. They alternated between here and downstairs. They slept here, Eugene sleeping on the Castro. The French Assembly reversed itself, voting 287-260 to re-arm West Germany.
