Sunday. August 31st [September 1st]. Yesterday I got my cheque cashed – the cheque written on May 6 at Rastatt – so our refusal to pay did do good. Still, 3 months! Today I got a very long letter from Tootsie, jolly interesting, saying exactly how the news came through about me. Must have been pretty chronic for five weeks. Gerson and I are having quite a little local excitement on our own. Qui vivra, verra!
