 Dear Club Girls-I guess you will be surprised to learn that one of your members has withdrawn from your list, and gone so far away from home.
 l am having nice time. This is such a pretty country. You can look upon the mountain tops and see the snow and then look in the valley and see the pretty flowers and trees, and it almost makes us think we are in paradise.
 The oranges and lemons are some thing great. You can go for miles and can see groves of them. You can travel for mics and miles and never get out of the country, for they have such pretty drives out here. On each side there is nothing but palm and pepper trees and flowers of every de scription. The cactus grow here ir
