Dear Eva,

Well I got here Monday, was pretty
tired. I never saw such crowded and slow
trains in all my life. I called Henry and
talked to him from Los Angeles, where
he lives is about sixty miles from Los
Angeles and about one hundred from San
Diego. I didn't have time to go see him
but if I am here long enough maybe I
will get a chance.

I dont have any idea where I will
be transfered to from here but I hope it
is back on the east coast.

Eva I certainly did enjoy my leave
and I appreciate everything you and Harry did
for me, maybe someday I will be able to
do the same for you. Give Velma my love
and tell her I will write later, I have so many
to write I don't know whether I will catch up
or not. I had better close as I have a lot
more to write. Give my regards to all and write.

Love
Jewell
