Port Angeles, Wash. July 29, 1946. Dear Friend: - We are having a nice time in Wash. We made several sight seeing trips. One over into Canada. Enjoyed the boat ride, and Victoria is a beautiful city. We went out to the Pacific coast Fri. and I got a thrill wading in the ocean. dreading going back to home's heat. The weather here is swell. We are going back to Sabula and it won't be long before school starts. We canned salmon, apricots + cherries to take back. I'd really like to live out here. Love Mrs. J. F. Truesdell
