Jane Wolfe Diary Entry Sunday, 27 September 1942
Always something preventing a free-flowing in this household. Lately the four children. During the summer Helen [Helen Parsons] cared for Lisa, Tommy took more or less care of Stella outdoors. Now Tommy goes to school, little Joe Miller is back from Oakland much spoiled by grandparents and quite mischievous; Lisa is back with Phyllis [Phyllis Seckler] and evenings there is a hub-bub and uproar that disturbs the whole house.
The affair of Jack [Jack Parsons] and Betty [Sara Northrup] seems more messy than of benefit to either one; while Betty and Regina [Regina Kahl] both affect me as matter out of place.
Joe has a problem, in that Grace is coming back pregnant and positively refuses to live here. He feels finished with her (he says), but also feels a responsibility. States he has swung completely over to Phyllis: which is something I just can't comprehend; I thought him a bigger man.
