Dearest Mom,
We arrived in Lansdowne (a section of Philadelphia) about six o’clock last evening. Mrs. Gale brought out your two letters at once, and believe me I was glad to get them. Mildred Beaty had a letter from George, but Mrs. Shirley didn’t have a thing. We’ve ridden so hard this week (about five hundred miles every day) that I didn’t have time to write more than a postcard. Would you believe it - we went to bed about

Dearest Mom,
We arrived in Lansdowne (a section of Philadelphia) about six o’clock last evening. Mrs. Gale brought out your two letters at once, and believe me I was glad to get them. Mildred Beaty had a letter from George, but Mrs. Shirley didn’t have a thing. We’ve ridden so hard this week (about five hundred miles every day) that I didn’t have time to write more than a postcard. Would you believe it - we went to bed about
You are allowed to drive as fast as you wish but we didn’t drive over 55 miles an hour. We’ve had good luck with the car and I hope it continues.
This is a grand group to be with. Miss Beaty or Mildred is really cute and a grand sport, and I like her a lot. Mrs. Bailey is very charming. She is a native of England and talks so beautifully. She is about 50 yrs. old, a divorcee with two grown children, and a very good looking woman.
I’ve never known anyone just like her. Of course, Mrs. Shirley is swell, too.
Mom, I’m so glad you went on to San Antonio. I wonder if you went to Port Arthur, too. I think Mrs. Shirley is certainly sweet to want us to visit us. I’ll send her a card soon.
When I was in Ft. Worth I tried to get Grandmother but the line was always busy. I did get Aunt Elanor but the line was always busy and she gave me her sister’s address in New York. I’ll look her up if we
possibly have time.
We are going to Atlantic City this afternoon and will come back here the last of the week. If all goes according to plan we’ll leave for home a week from this coming Wednesday.
I must run now and go sightseeing with Mrs. Gale (Her husband is the captain of a big sphip in the U.S. Navy.)
Wish you could peep in on me today
Love to everybody,
Frances
