When I got back my room, there was a message on the door saying, “Very Important. Mr. Early wishes you to call him at once. “I didn't know who Mr. Early was. The number was on the door. I called the number and said this was Frances Perkins. He said, “For heaven's sake, where have you been?

I said, “I was told that we had to go to the pan American Union reception. I tried to get there. I've been three or four hours trying to get there.”

He said, “Oh goodness, didn't anybody tell you not to go?” I said, “No.”

He said, “Nobody goes to that. It's just to entertain the riff-raff.” I hadn't heard about that. “What I called you about was to say this. The President wishes every member of his incoming Cabinet and any members of their family that they wish to bring to be at St. John's Church tomorrow morning at ten o'clock. We are to have a special service of prayer and thanksgiving which the President desires, and he wishes all of his official family to be with him. Immediate family may come and nobody else - just the immediate family. Don't bring your friends. Do you have any of your family here?”

I said, “My daughter is here.”
