13th July

13th July. Thursday. Got up early as
usual, had a bath then breakfast
got some mail, and wrote some
letters, and cards, had lunch
then Jack took us to New York,
did a wonderful tour of the
East Side, one is almost transpor
-ted to the “Der Hame” some of the people
here have not changed mode
of life and clothes since they came
over. Came back home, had a
wonderful dinner, and here I am
out on the porch doing my diary.
To-morrow G-d willing I am once
again on the move, this time to
Elizabeth where I am staying for
a fortnight.

12th July Wednesday. Went out to
Queens to see the Auntys, needless
to talk about the reception there,
they poor souls cannot keep their
eyes off me. Left for New York, as I
have to meet Rita G, met her
and went for dinner, we
nattered, and nattered, then went
for a walk along 5th Avenue,
then went in for a drink, and as
it already getting late, got the
Subway, and home to Brooklyn
where Mary and Jack were on
the porch waiting for me. After a
rest Mary gave me a facial
which was marvellous, it couldn’t
improve my features, but it certainly
did wonders for my skin, had
a nice cold drink and then bed.

28-6-67. Wednesday. Did a little
Shopping for Mary, and sure know
my way around here. After lunch went
with Mary & Jack to see a house, it
was something out of a Hollywood film,
belonged to a Jewish family who are
moving to Manhattan, were shown around
by the coloured maid in a magnificant
white uniform. This afternoon went
to New York had a grand time,
ate at a Dairy Restaurant then
went to Samuel’s Office and had
a wonderful examination of my
eyes, found I was suffering from a
slight attack of conjuctivitis, nothing
serious. Phoned Ray Dobbie, she
would hardly let me away, however
when she comes back from Chicago
she will phone me, and get
together.
