Monday Sept 4 - Delores
Posted: Sun Feb 07, 2010 3:38 pm
You wake in good spirits and with a strange sense that you dreamed last night and Jerry Manton was involved. There’s oatmeal and soft-boiled eggs for breakfast. Outside, it’s chilly and foggy.
As you walk past Lester Pierce’s office, he shouts out “Brown! How’s that missing brother thing coming?” Does the man know how to just talk to a person?
On your desk are two assignments. Interview Mrs. Ernestine DeVanter in Brooklyn who hits 100 tomorrow and still lives in the house she was born in. Attend a lecture on social improvement by Lillian Wald (whom you admire) on Thursday evening, six o’clock at the Henry Street Settlement on the Lower East Side – within walking distance of your rooming house.
There’s also an envelope brought by a delivery service Saturday night. Inside is a brief note.
My agency got the following on Marlene Hirt.
Manhattan phone directory - APpleton 5102 - 1288 Lexington Ave
Palatine Hirt left small fortune to her & brother Alphonse 1918
Robert Stanton executor & guardian
graduated Upper Darby Girls’ Academy 1923
English Literature degree from Bennington 1927
More when we get it.
Dex
And something else -- a message taken by the night editor at twelve-thirty Sunday afternoon: Dex Ford says he’s meeting with the others at Flannigan’s Steak House in Manhattan at eight o’clock. Come if you can.
You’re looking up Mrs. DeVanter’s address when the phone rings.
“Miss Brown, it’s Dex Ford. Vilas and I turned up some stuff last night and Esposito says he’s got something too. How about we all go down to the Hudson Street Stationhouse to talk things over before we go see Miss Hirt at her brother’s place? Get there around eleven."
