Dear Hoffman family, I am about to
fly north for it is getting time for
hot weather here. We have had
beautiful weather so far. No rain
for some time and very dry. But I
enjoy every day and go about
the country with friends who have
orange groves and country places
filled with beautiful and inter-
esting flowers, fruits & vegetables
strange flowering vines and trees and
grounds laid out with fountains
and gushing wells. Love to the H. E. L
Leonard

Dear Elizabeth,
Arrived here
Sat A.M. & had no trouble at all.
My cousins met us & we recognized
one another immediately. We met a
nice gentleman on the boat train who helped
Ed carry the luggage & he was going same
place as us & we enjoyed meeting him.
He was a big help to us.

The boat trip was very nice & we did not
get sick. My cousin Harry is a very
nice person. We like him so very
much. His wife is a wonderful person
too. He has driven us every day from
10 A.M. till nite showing us the towns
& country. Hope you are keeping well
& the boys are fine. Love The H's
