Mr. Norvin H. Rieser,

New York City
Dear Dad:
After leaving where we were, we left, got here and not knowing where
we were coming from there to here, we could not tell if we would
arrive here or not. Nevertheless we are here and not there.
The weather here is just like it always is at this season, unlike
the weather we had before we came from where we were. From
there to here is just as far as from here to there and I feel just
as I should for this type of weather here although I felt alright
there for the kind of weather there, so there is nothing to be
worried about. The way we came here is just the way everyone
comes here from there. In short where I am is where I am.
Love Eugene |
