Twilight Over American and Horseshoe Falls


Niagra Falls, N.Y.

Copyright by Fred Noma

Ever beautiful, Niagra Falls is always gor-
geous at twilight. The air is still, the mist
rises directly upward and becomes tinged
with sunset colors. The world is quiet--but
Niagra roars on.

Also, I would like for
you to have a meal here

Dear F & R--
One more week to go
& we return home. It
has been pleasant, but a
bit tiring since we have
jumped to High Wycombe,
back to London, & now Oxford.
We return to London Mon.
There's a lot of material here--
More than we can possibly
cover. We hope everything
has you well at home.
Love,
Mother

Lady on the White Horse, Banbury.


Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross,
To see a fine lady on a white horse,
With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,
She shall have music wherever she goes.
