TranscriptWashington. 9.15: went with Peter Mattheissen’s wife Maria to the Phillips Collection. We were let in early by Laughlin Phillips, son of founder, who housed us all through the place; a great treat all round- especially the Klees.
Back to hotel by 11.15; picked up at 11.50 & driven to airport. Took off on schedule, 12.50; landed Memphis 2.10. Glad of it, too. Gwyn is still staying with Debbie while Johnny is out of town; baby due any minute. Mountains of mail; unanswerable. Found Tommy Powell already at work on paint job. First scraping off old paint; then will come the new. |
