Alexis Gore, the Rector of the College. There were many visitors. May Devotion at the Shrine of the Blessed Virgin was very impressive. The Capuchin Fathers have a privileged Altar in their chapel which means a plenary indulgence every time a Mass is offered. Donald is very much impressed. Back to work at 4:45. Worked until 11 P.M. - 9 hours today. Thres plays Bingo at Sacred Heart Bazaar; she was also there this afternoon." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
