Mr. Barrett wakes early today and poaches two eggs. Nothing specific to report on his actions aside from noting that his departure date approaches swiftly - February 12th. He will report to Philidelphia, where he will then be given his mandate & sent off via New York, Dakar, & Johannesburg to Antananarivo. He has a glass of milk and goes to bed. I wonder if he realizes that soon he will be sleeping on compressed earth.
