Hello Ma. Sister
Received your card the other day. But did not get a chance to answer right away. So don’t worry when I’m a little slow. I’m still feeling good and enjoying the South here. I went to the Pike in Long Beach last Sun[day] night. That’s some place. This park is right on the ocean front. It’s about 30 miles from Arcadia. We had an auto to take over. This was a beautiful ride through the groves and through and of the oil fields. We had a big day here the fourth also. Well, very glad your all feeling good at home. As I'm the same. Best regards from Adolf.
