Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. q, 1922
Dear Friend:
! | am going to write you a few
lines to tell you about the big lows
picnic held here, and to let you know
that we are all we'll and hope these
few lines will find all of the De
corah folks well. The weather is
just fine now, as it has cleared uI
again. For the last ten days it has
been raining and it sure can rair
here, let me tell you. But it has
been grand winter for the people
who come here to get rid of the
chilly blasts of Iowa and Minnesota
although they tell me that this win
ter has been the coldest in ten years.
The orange and lemon crops are not
worth much. In some places they
are ruined and you people back their
will pay big prices for them.
wish you were here to take a drive
through the groves.
Well, Jack / am sending you the
names of the Winneshiek county
people my wife and / met at the
Iowa Picnic. How wish you might
have been there to see for yourself.
lit doesn't seem as though it could
be possible to see so many people in
one body, and that they wouldn't be
missed from Iowa at all Just TO "
many was there dent knew, bit
you will see later.
