...have just arrived from England and happened to see in your edition of Nov. 16 the letter about the Prince of Wales. Why should Mary Elizabeth Robinn object to the Prince dressing up as a girl in The Bathroom Door? Young college men the world over do the same thing and the play is perfectly harmless; so why should anyone object? As for saying that England knows him for what he is-yes, they do. They know him as the greatest ambassador England ever had-and the most popular Prince-and don't expect him to be an Angel...
Sirs: I wish to protest and protest strongly against such antics on the part of the Prince of Wales as you describe in your issue of Nov. 2. No decent young man dresses himself up in girl's clothes and appears in a farce called The Bathroom Door.

...with General Biddle and three aides arrived at 10:45, also Colonel Lloyd Griscom with an aide, also Mr. Hoover with a Captain Somebody; three big U. S. Army cars. Also an orderly to polish up the General-you would have laughed to see the blue room and your bathroom. Twice during the day General Pershing was brushed and polished. It was a very cold morning and I had a nice wood fire in the drawing-room over which they all clung gratefully. There were sandwiches, coffee and drinks in the dining-room and they had a good meal...
