20th July. Thursday. Off again to New York,
straight to the U.N. building, waited in
a queue for 2 hours to get into the
assembly rooms. Earphones in every seat,
and everything is translated in 5 languages.
A great hush and the President addressed
the meeting, asked if any delegate had
anything to say, the delegate from
Ireland got up and proposed an
adjournment till to-morrow at 2-30, this
was unanimous, so that was that, what
a disappointment for everybody. Came
out and had lunch in the U.N. cafe,
wrote some cards, and then went into
town, saw a most hilarious picture
“A guide to the married man, never
laughed such a lot for years, what a
cast, could see it again, then
went in for tea, and back home to
Elizabeth, arrived tired by happy.
Had dinner, and am settling down to
do some writing.
