Transcription

Arrived here last night. It's hot but not as I expected. As many "boogies" as whites. I live in suburban place with a beautiful lawn adjoining the city park. I really take back about southern hospitality. I didn't find any until I hit Alabama. None in Va or Tenn. Will write later. Hilma
