[0:01] Good morning.
[0:01] Rose, I want to ask you a couple of things.
[0:10] Would you, sometime today...
[0:34] Would you check to see whether, do you remember Jane?
[1:00] I'll check with them.
[1:01] If we didn't really share it, I'll check simply because she's friends.
[1:04] I don't know if she showed up on Celebrity, but she's written a nice letter.
[1:08] Is she a friend?
[1:09] Oh, she's written a nice letter.
[1:10] I don't know.
[1:13] See if I have one.
[1:14] I want to write her about it.
[1:15] If she's written a nice letter, do check it out and see if we've met any progress.
[1:19] I know we have.
[1:20] She wrote me a nice letter for your birthday, and I think she's the one who sent you a wire with...
[1:25] uh, that Louise, um, one of the doctors used to see in New York with her husband.
[1:30] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[1:32] Great.
[1:33] Their birthday was on the same issue.
[1:35] I saw it.
[1:35] I saw it on the right.
[1:36] I saw it on the thing.
[1:37] Who's the other nice one?
[1:40] Oh, the lady on, she's so, she's a very nice person.
[1:46] Well, I don't think either one of them are on our list.
[1:48] Oh, I know that.
[1:48] I didn't, I didn't.
[1:49] They're not the kind to come out.
[1:51] Oh, I don't care if they're on the list.
[1:52] I just wanted to know whether they're living.
[1:55] Jane Wyman has just recently written a beautiful letter.
[1:59] You'll never hear it again.
[2:02] I'll ask you to tell her.
[2:04] I saw it already.
[2:06] But I saw her that weekend, too old.
[2:08] I want to be sure that... Well, I know Jane Wyman is, and I'll check with her again.
[2:17] I haven't seen her.
[2:23] Would you see whether Eugene Ormond, if you could stop the subject, and at four o'clock, you know, then maybe read, what letter, if anyone, would be here?
[2:32] So if you know now, it takes, didn't happen anyway.
[2:51] Thank you.
[2:53] What do you mean?
[2:55] What do you mean?
[3:02] What do you mean?
[3:06] What do you mean?
[3:07] What do you mean?
[3:10] What do you mean?
[3:18] What do you mean?
[3:24] We've got not so much mail, but sometimes it's been 830 and we still sign, but then you don't remember all the names.
[3:29] I think I may have spoken to you before.
[3:35] I wrote it down.
[3:36] I want you to get together with, you know, at some point about that telephone call thing, or I think of those three calls you made.
[3:50] I'm just thinking that...
[3:54] That's about 80% or 90% of students fighting amongst themselves.
[3:57] And the fight has kept me from getting in a conversation with them about their problems.
[4:04] And, uh, you can make calls, or we can make calls, all of them can make calls.
[4:10] In other words, I've told all of them to do it, but it must be done on a, what we call a, it has to be done on a... model so that you look for them, you know what I mean?
[4:23] And, uh...
[4:25] It would be a big help to me to do it.
[4:29] Because I'm curious to know after.
[4:31] Oh, it was quite obvious they were very thrilled to hear.
[4:33] Well, I'm sure they got a lot of marketing.
[4:34] I don't know if I can say something about marketing or something.
[4:36] But I know all of them.
[4:37] All of them.
[4:38] Let's see.
[4:38] Do you know what music they have tomorrow?
[4:44] Any chance?
[4:44] And there was somebody I was going to ask you.
[4:45] Okay.
[4:45] Very gently.
[4:48] I said, do you know what I'm going to sing?
[4:54] Okay.
[4:58] I've got the list up there.
[5:01] Um, look, Penn and I used to come and visit, but he used to be over in...
[5:04] Right.
[5:04] ...Rome for that, uh, special place that's going to make us... Good.
[5:07] ...try to help us out.
[5:08] Yeah, I thought somebody might just be judging us, and they just don't keep telling us, I remember.
[5:17] You talked to them?
[5:19] No, I just thought of somebody, and I can't remember the name right now.
[5:26] Somebody here in town.
[5:27] Rudy?
[5:28] Not yet.
[5:31] He can come later.
[5:32] He can come.
[5:32] Oh, not yet.
[5:33] I'm talking about Williambury.
[5:35] No.
[5:36] But Mama will call him on occasion.
[5:37] Well, it's all right.
[5:38] I mean, he's fine.
[5:40] But because he's done a lot of work.
[5:41] But I mean, there's no...
[5:43] He should be the father's head of the American Ambulance.
[5:49] But he should be.
[5:50] There's no emergency.
[5:51] We have some space because we have only 160 moms.
[5:55] That's right.
[6:00] We could call Clark McGregor.
[6:07] That's what I'm saying.
[6:08] Clark McGregor.
[6:11] Let's get some of that .
[6:13] I want to be sure Clark gets in push.
