Houseguest |
Marguerite A. LeHand, Harry L. Hopkins, Robert Sherwood, Samuel I. Rosenman left with FDR for Boston at 2245 Note: Usher's log under Houseguests merely has "See 10:45." FDR's log has no 1045 entry; his 2245 entry lists these names of frequent houseguests among those accompanying him to Boston. But they are not shown as having been guests at that particular point. |
