Jo Patterston told me yesterday Finley G[illegible] was going home this afternoon and asked me if I wanted to go with him and I told him if it were not imposing I would. G[illegible] came to me at the Edwards this morning and told me he would see me at my room at noon and advise me what time he could leave. I waited till 2PM. and he did not show up. I then went to To[illegible] Bldg when he works but could not find him but said Tom Patterson 5PM and he said Finley still intended to go home and would come by after me it is now 7P.M. and one more Air Castle has fallen.
