A paved highway curves through rocky, scrub-covered desert foothills toward the dark, towering mass of Guadalupe Peak, which rises against a pale blue sky. A small plume of smoke or cloud sits at the summit.

Does this remind you
of your last summer's
trip ? The desert looks
mighty dry as I came
in ? No rain and so
many water holes dried
up. Know A-d is going
to enjoy Richmond and
her work. I did. Have
had some. Keep in
pulling in El Paso. From
your [illegible] Return [illegible] - Love, Nell
