September 25, 1922, "it is hard to write a letter on the train"

This letter is from Edith A. (Duffield) Sisson, Edythe's mother, to Rayson.  She is writing on the train as she and her daughter make their way to Los Angeles. I wonder how she was feeling. At 58 years old, she had just left Ottawa, Illinois - the only place she'd ever lived - to head west to California to join her husband. In some of the earlier letters, it was clear that she was a rather nervous woman so I imagine she was a bit of a mess as she wrote this note to her future son-in-law.

Addressed to:

Mr. G. Rayson Brown.

1468 East 67 St.

Chicago Illinois.
