Excerpt: ...really chummy, tho I meet so many people at receptions etc. sometimes just after I have been flying before thousands of people I beat it to my hotel and would be glad for a good chat with the night clerk, of course I can bank on Martin Dockerill to the limit but when I talk to a person like Miss Nash I realize I need some one who knows good art from bad. Though Miss Nash doesn''t insist on talking like a high-brow, indeed is picking up aviation technologies very quickly. She talks German like a native. Think Miss Nash is perhaps older than I am, perhaps couple of years, but doesn''t make any difference. Reading a little German to-night, almost forgot what I learned of it in Plato. May 14, Sunday: Went into town this afternoon and went with Istra to dinner at the Lafayette. She told me all about her experiences in Paris and studying art. She is quite discontented here in N. Y. I don''t blame her much, it must have been bully over in Paree. We sat talking till ten. Like to see Vedrines fly, and the Louvre and the gay grisettes too by heck! Istra ought not to drink so many cordials, nix on the booze you learn when you try to keep in shape for flying, though Tad Warren doesn''t seem to learn it. After ten we went to studio where Istra is staying on Washington Sq. several of her friends there and usual excitement and fool questions about being an aviator, it always makes me feel like a boob. But they saw Istra and I wanted to be alone and they beat it. This is really dawn but I''ll date it May 14, which is yesterday. No sleep for me to-night, I''m afraid. Going to fly around NY in aerial derby this afternoon. Must get plenty sleep now. May 15: Won derby, not much of an event though. Struck rotten currents over Harlem River, machine rolled like a whale-back. 206 Istra out here to-morrow. Glad. But after last night afraid I''ll get so I depend on her, and the aviator that keeps his nerve has to be sort of a friendless cuss some ways. May 16: Istra came out here....
