Dear Margaret - We are having a fine time. We are going on 17 mile drive today. The weather is fine - foggy this morning, but suppose it will clear as yesterday. Hope you are all well and everything is all right at home. If anything happens please let us know. We may stay here all week. If you write send it care of my Uncle Mr. E. Omlay. We saw this place yesterday. It is not seven o'clock yet. We start at nine on the drive. Lots of love from all to you all. God bless you. Lovingly, Edna A. FowlerLanguage
