I got in at 8:00 this morning, was met & we all went out to American University, where the classes are.  We registered & then came back to the Burlington Hotel, where we are now.  The address may be temporary, so you had better write to Helen Fox, #89, HRW, American Red Cross, American University, Washington, D.C.
