Dear all. We got to DC Friday at 3:30 Visited with Sis stayed a night at Vernon’s. One night at Marj + Eds. 2 nights at motel and Today we were at Mt. Vernon. This is a really nice place to see just like he had it when he lived here. I mean Washington. The crops are wonderful through Illinois + Indiana nothing but corn, beans, alfalfa + clover on either side the highway as far as your eyes could see most places. Well Elizabeth has sweet corn + all trimmings ready for supper. I hope you are all fine as this leaves us.   Mom

Dear all. We spent this Sat PM out here and I sure wish you could all see this place. Elizabeth is figuring on Cleo + Julie for Christmas, she has her tree already picked out across the street. ha ha. We got here Friday at 3:30. Had a nice trip + enjoyed every minute of it. It rained a  lot here + stormed last night. Be sure + write even if about nothing else but the weather (like Betty) Have you seen Lloyd Nothing you say except sickness or death will make me come sooner than I intend to. ha Hope you are all OK.
