miep　came　to　tell　us　that　shed　been　to　see　dr。　dussel。　he　asked　her　the　moment　she　entered　the　room　if　she　knew　of　a　hiding　place　and　was　enormously　pleased　when　miep　said　she　had　something　in　mind。　she　added　〃that　hed　need　to　go　into　hiding　as　soon　as　possible；　preferably　saturday；　but　he　thought　this　was　highly　improbable；　since　he　wanted　to　bring　his　records　up　to　date；　settle　his　accounts　and　attend　to　a　couple　of　patients。　miep　relayed　the　message　to　us　this　morning。　we　didnt　think　it　was　wise　to　wait　so　long。　all　these　preparations　require　explanations　to　various　people　who　we　feel　ought　to　be　kept　in　the　dark。　miep　went　to　ask　if　dr。　dussel　couldnt　manage　to　e　on　saturday　after　all；　but　he　said　no；　and　now　hes　scheduled　to　arrive　on　monday。
