Addams praises McCulloch's presentation and is being updated on events through Abbott and Breckinridge because she is caring for Bowen while she is ill.
Ickes accepts Addams' suggestion for him to serve as a proxy for her in New York and includes instructions on how to remove Bowen's name from a ballot for a future election.
Addams informs Ickes that Bowen is still too ill to receive any messages and she will not reconsider withdrawing from the race she was meant to participate in under the Progressive Party ticket.
Addams updates Haldeman on Bowen's condition and reveals that she has continued to visit the hospital every day while Bowen is unwell. Kelley is also visiting Addams and will visit again when Haldeman travels to Maine.
