Tuesday, January 23 (1945)

Woke up late in fact train had nearly reached Lynchburg. Some snow on Blue Ridge in spots. Train late. Crowd across the isle greatly interested in dismissal of Jesse Jones as Sec. of Commerce. Not surprising, the South must be boiling. Train ran later and later. First snow near Manassas. So late at Washington we missed two connections and didn't reach Wilmington till after six. Mary had been down to meet me but had to go home. Alice Johnson and some of Snook's friends for supper. I ate up at the B&O Restaurant and brought ice cream home for supper.
