Dear Albert. This the nearest to a covered bridge I’ve found. Boy the way they travel here is terrible. I went to visit Forest Lawn today – so beautiful. Going to Santa Monica Friday pm to the dance of Lawrence Welk. I am thrilled. Then hope to go to the big Red Network next week. Tell Aunt Bessie. I have so many cards to send.
