Today Jack Holt and Harold LaRoche, movie stars, came out to the ship for lunch and tea. They are unusually interesting men — very neat and well dressed — well educated — and nice.

Holt is quite a polo player wheras LaRoche talks an excellent game of golf.

Well, Edward, old workhorse, with best wishes again to you & to Betty I am as ever. Your loving brother, Richard "Dick" Waller Bates.
