Rick, Huldah and George were only essential to my story up until they left the Petersen House, so I didn't follow them after that. With the war ended and the Washington economy entering a slump, the housewares business was so slow that the Francises gave up their rooms on June 1 to go on an extended holiday in upstate New York and New England. I'm not sure of their whereabouts after the trip.

Hi Eva
The federal government did pay Petersen for all the sheets and pillowcases and even for his time and his servant's time.
