Dr. Van Waters: Victoria came in this morning to complain that she is not getting her newspapers and magazines. She said she has always had permission to pick them up at the Font Office, but Mrs. Watson has given orders that everything is to go through the Library, and she does not get things addressed to her. Victoria was very disturbed. Is she to be allowed to get them from the Front Office, or will they have to go through Mrs. Watson?

Victoria has permission to receive her own newspapers + magazines.

Dr. Van Watrers: Miss Frieh, in Miss Johnson's office, asked for permission the other day to go to Victoria's room to have a dress fitted. I told her it should be done in the sewing room.

Victoria came in this morning demanding that it be done in her room, so I told her I would ask you for a decision.
