Leo and I go to the Polo Club to attend a meeting at 8:30 a.m. of all the American men here in Pasay. Discussed a number of things we might do in case of occupation by the enemy. We are supposed to meet at the Manila Sanitarium. We got back to Lerits in time for the Sunday Meeting. Had a nice meeting although few, Mrs. Lerit, Tagumpay, Enrique, Mr. and Mrs. Hernandez, Cecil, Leo, and myself. Most spoke about having confidence in the Lord, and whatever might happen we would have something that even death will not take from us. The
Dolores girls are still in the province and Severa is worrying about them as well as her husband, Luis, and the children. We had dinner at Lerit’s and a big raid came on. They bombed the piers again, and started a fire, but do not know just where it is. Got home about three p.m. Our men are pretty hard pressed according to the news. Willie and Ernest reported a good Meeting at San Andres.
