Message · English, in pen

Hello Friend; Hope to see you before you leave for Detroit. Glad to hear you are back again. Hope you like living in Detroit but like coming to Cleveland better. I am camping and it is wonderful out in the open country. Getting black and you probably won't know me when you see me. It's fun living in a tent but spooky at night. Your friend, Dolores
