Dear Pen,

     Went through miles and miles of redwood forest today, absolutely magnificent.  Stop overnight at Portland, Oregon, tomorrow night, an 11 hour bus trip, the silly bus leaves here at quarter to 7am and I'm not amused.

     Love Nan.


The heavily forested regions of the West make lumbering one of it's important industries.

Dear Tim,

     These are rather nice little sticks, aren't they?  Tell all your family and the Cobcrofts (and of course yourself) that I will be at the Nordale Hotel, Fairbanks, Alaska from 7th August until 10th, and they had better jolly well have letters there for me, marked 'to await arrival'.

     Love Nan.

Dear Merry,

     This is a cutie, isn't it?   There was a buffet meal here tonight and I counted 50 different things to eat and there were even more than that.  I didn't eat some of all 50, but I did eat too much.

     Love Nan.



Along California's Rugged Coast, Redwood Highway, California
With it's driftwood textured by the sea, California's rugged coast line, big and breathlessly beautiful, invites you to play, picnic and horseback ride along it's shore.

Dear Fish (Nick)

     I think the two kids on the beach look like you and Pennie.  I bet you've never seen horses paddling, have you?

     Love Nan.
