I slipped out of bed early & left Nancy sleeping—she’s worn out between the flu & her packing. Brkfst. in the study—timed my radio broadcast and did some desk work. Then over to Oval O.—did broadcast—back to the W.H. & a couple of photos in dip. room with family & friends of staff. Upstairs Nancy & Ted G. were packing odds & ends—I joined in some odds & ends of my own. P.D.B. arrived late but after lunch I got it read. Back to packing until our 3 P.M. departure for Camp D. More photos on departure. A different kind of chopper—not very comfortable. It’s something new they wanted us to see. It was 21° at Camp D. & then it started to rain. Usual routine—showered, washed my hair & then dinner & movie—“Cattle Queen of Montana.” And to bed.
