Dear Ruth,
Thanks for the card you sent a while back. Menat to write long ago, but I dont know where the time goes, I suppose Judith and daughter are on their way to California now. Elaina knows Mrs. G well. They take this same way every morning to school. Mr. + Mrs G. Larson are in Cal. now. And two other couples out here are making the trip, one to stay the other to see their son receive his wings. Hope you are well as we are at present. Greetings Ellen
