Dear Wanda,
I have been writing to mom once in a while so figured one has your name on it.
I’ve had a good time on this trip but when I lay down to sleep I can’t help thinking so I get a little homesick once in a while (already).
I hope you have a chance to see some of the country sometime, though the south is all alike. You couldn’t tell N.C. from Ala. except the latter is a little more level and has damper climate.
It is great weather here blue birds and everything like spring even a little green grass.
Love, Wayne
