9 Aug 1937 It’s been terribly hot here the last few days. They say it comes from America, like women smoking on the streets & wearing shorts and raising whoopee at midnight in beer parlors. What an idea most of them have of Americans, anyway! Irresponsible children with too much money and an awful accent, who make too much noise and wear too much makeup.… Please when I get home don’t give me any boiled potatoes—please!
