Dearest Folks,

Just arrived on the Streamliner from L.A. Had a swell trip.  Went like hell all the way.  Both feeling fine.  Leave for N.Y. in 230 minutes.  Chicago is quite some city itself - Love, Fred

Dearest Folks,

We visited this place today.  Do you remember it?  We've certainly had a swell time here since last Monday.  Will tell you more about it later.  Are starting home tomorrow (Sat.) by way of Washington, D.C., New Orleans, Texas, etc.  Will write when we get home.

Love

Fred and Elda

Comment:  Fred and Elda are doing well even as the depression wears on and using their summer vacation from their teaching jobs to travel.  It would be interesting to know if his parents responded about seeing the Statue of Liberty when they arrived in America in 1890.
