  Just received your letter from France, telling of travelling in the new car with John. It is nice it all came to pass, and certainly lovely that you could give John this relaxing time and sightseing pleasure, plus being with his mamma.

  Saw Bert Carpenter about that curious affair of Dean White and my 'dismissal'. He is working on it. The tenure arrangement was good until 65. Now a new contract has to be made. Bothers, but nobody really is eager to see me go. Classes are earmarked for me for next year.

  The President is in town, came to deliver a talk on integration to the U.S. Mayors, so there is an enormous influx of people. He leaves this afternoon.

  The photos of Malia are darling. In the one from the front I found she has the same elephant fold on her nose that Ann had when she was born!
