<strong>The</strong> town of Warrenton has less than 2,000 people and is very quiet and sedate. <strong>The</strong>re are, ofcourse, many black people <strong>in</strong> this state but they are rural <strong>in</strong> composition and unlike the urban ones <strong>in</strong>Wash<strong>in</strong>gton, not given to crime.<strong>The</strong> place will need additional security fenc<strong>in</strong>g, gates which can be controlled from the <strong>in</strong>side,alarm systems and I will br<strong>in</strong>g over at least ten more of my people to help out with the house and thesecurity.No one has lived <strong>in</strong> the mansion for a number of years and the sunlight has faded some of thecurta<strong>in</strong>s, all of which are old and must be replaced. I will wish to have the bathrooms modernizedsomewhat and I have ideas about some statuary for the gardens which I would certa<strong>in</strong>ly wish to make overmore <strong>in</strong> the European style.It is a very well built house <strong>in</strong> its own grounds and it even has a nice stream on the property.<strong>The</strong>re is a very good stream runn<strong>in</strong>g through the place <strong>in</strong> Colorado and I might take up fly-fish<strong>in</strong>g as asport.We went there with a real estate agent and I left Bunny to talk with him while He<strong>in</strong>i and I made atour of the place. It took us over four hours to see everyth<strong>in</strong>g and I must say I dozed off <strong>in</strong> the car on theway back.It is absolutely magnificent, without question, and certa<strong>in</strong>ly not that expensive consider<strong>in</strong>g myassets. This would be a tremendous place for my collection of pa<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>gs and for the furniture I would liketo buy. Bunny has suggested American colonial but I like Louis XV and XVI. We can compromise, ofcourse.She knows <strong>in</strong> the way that women have, that I am probably go<strong>in</strong>g to buy it and was absolutelycharm<strong>in</strong>g on the way home.We told the agent that there needed to be work done on the property and I had filled my notebookwith all k<strong>in</strong>ds of m<strong>in</strong>or repairs. He, of course, believ<strong>in</strong>g that we wanted the place (he knows about Bunny’suncle and knows the family by name) and began to suggest a price “adjustment” for us.I do not want to raise horses, but Bunny does, so she can have what she wants <strong>in</strong> that area.I will go to the bank tomorrow and beg<strong>in</strong> the transaction but we both know that the propertycannot be <strong>in</strong> my name. We have worked out a suitable plan whereby a very poor cous<strong>in</strong> will hold the actualtitle but will give us back a signed deed to it so that we can execute it at any time we wish.And, of course, I proposed to her after d<strong>in</strong>ner tonight and she, of course, accepted. Bunny iscerta<strong>in</strong>ly strong enough to do that herself but propriety demands that the male make the first move. I did. Idon’t th<strong>in</strong>k Sophie would be too happy but life is cruel, isn’t it?We will give up the house <strong>in</strong> Wash<strong>in</strong>gton and I will either take the tra<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>to town or be driven. Iwill get a new car; <strong>in</strong> fact the garage holds seven so we will see how many more we need.If Bunny wants to come <strong>in</strong>to town by herself, she can stay with aunt and I can stay at the club sothe unpleasantness of liv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> a hot, humid and nasty town will be a th<strong>in</strong>g of the past.I now own the place <strong>in</strong> Colorado, which is nowhere as large as the new estate but I want it for thew<strong>in</strong>ter sports and Bunny is <strong>in</strong> complete agreement. That place has 640 acres and this over three hundred soI will be an American landowner with a thousand acres to my hold<strong>in</strong>gs. I should design a coat of arms andhave it pa<strong>in</strong>ted on all my cars and put onto the notepaper but that is simply too much vanity and is risk<strong>in</strong>gthe attention of fate.How <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g life can be!One year a hunted war crim<strong>in</strong>al and the next, a Virg<strong>in</strong>ia gentleman, soon slated to be a colonel <strong>in</strong>the American General Staff, an advanced collector of very valuable, often significant art (almost all ofwhich was stolen but we don’t talk about that, do we?). A beautiful, well-bred and very <strong>in</strong>telligent wife andcompanion, an excellent domestic staff and perhaps seven cars!I can sit here and remember my very humble beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>gs with great (and often unpleasant) clarityand marvel about the ways of God and man!Tuesday, 25 July 1950I had Philby come by the club and had a brief meet<strong>in</strong>g with him. Several of the members knowhim and there was considerable polite back-and-forth but f<strong>in</strong>ally we got rid of the nuisances.Conversation turned on the Korean bus<strong>in</strong>ess. It seems Moscow wants to know as much as theycan about Truman’s <strong>in</strong>tentions and especially about the bomb. I gave P. a document, suitably doctored,which shows we will do noth<strong>in</strong>g more <strong>in</strong> Korea and will not drop the bomb on either northern Korea or onCh<strong>in</strong>a if it gets <strong>in</strong>to the bus<strong>in</strong>ess. I had this made myself and it has noth<strong>in</strong>g to do with the <strong>CIA</strong>. It certa<strong>in</strong>ly
