Lavier Camp Eliot, Me Dear Virginia This picture shows you where we spent one of our days off at least a part of it. The tour of Portsmouth is a very enjoyable place. I like my work with my two little girls now and I think you'd like them too. I know you'd love the birds and flowers that I find so plentiful here. Mav
