Diary of the wife of Admiral Leo Hewlett Thebaud. It begins March 6, 1925 traveling from Anapolis to Bremerton, Washington where here husband "Bud" sails on his first ship. The well-written diary is full of their travels, people, events, and arrangements relating mostly to their Navy life. Some of the journal summarizes entire seasons and years; personal events are interspersed with national and world events. Eleanor has underlined many names with some marginal comments. At the end are lists of names associated with social events and lists compiled of those who have died, remarried, etc. There is a list titled "Things worth while" listing highlights of their travels and events over the years. On the front flyleaf is a list of Bud's ships and dates.
