Dear Diary,

Well President Roosevelt did it again. He talked on the radio at nine o’clock tonight, so naturally Bob Hope wasn’t on. And after he had postponed his departure on the Victory Caravan tour just to give his show tonight at Long Beach. Elsie Janis was scheduled to be his guest. Bob may just save tonight’s script and give the same show next week, but he’ll be in the east and his guest, Elsie Janis, will be in California, unless she decides to go with the caravan, so I don’t guess Bob will do that. I don’t mind so much the fact that I didn’t hear Bob tonight, but I do mind the fact that Bob had to put in hours of work and energy on this week’s show and then still have to charter a special plane to Washington.
