MaryC, I'd phone the Wilderness Permit Office and ask. Not sure if they are open today, but I am sure they will be Monday: 760-873-2483 ...Or alternately, you could call the Recreation.gov number: 1-877-444-6777 today and ask. I think people at either place should be able to look up your application(s), and see the results.
I wrote the "most emails sent Mar 23" phrase based on your experience.
