Dear Diary,

There were several things in the papers about Bob today. One of them was that he hired an ambulance to take from Kingman, Arizona, to Hollywood after his broadcast. In that way he could get some sleep. Another article I will quote in part: “The next road taken by Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, which starts shooting after Bob returns from his trip abroad, will be Road to Utopia. I’d like to be in England when Bob gets there. His popularity in Britain is colossal. “That was Sheilah Graham.

There was also an article about me (among others) in the morning papers. Naturally it concerned the recent Interscholastic League Spelling Contest. It said that the high scoring papers were sent to Austin, for selection of state winners.

Dear Diary,

Sheilah Graham said in her columm today that Bob paid over $4000 thousand dollars to defend successfully the $2300 law suit brought by his sister – in – law. Bob told Sheilah he could have settled with his sister- in-law for $500, but he defended the case on the principle of the thing.
