June 14, 1922 A postcard penned by Vera

Addressed to:
Mrs. C. H. Sisson.
408 Marcy St.,
Ottawa, Illinois.

Transcription:
Rawlins, Wyoming,
Wed., June 14, '22.

Dear Mother:-

We haven't reached Rawlins at this writing but are stopped on the road. McCafferys are having a little trouble. We slept last night on the open plain with a great sheep herd around us; it was near the town of Medicine Bow. This is some country. It is roasting hot in the daytime and at night we can't keep warm. Last night the boys slept in the car and Ede and I in the tent, with all of the covers and the other tent under and over us. This is just an awful country. All you can see all around is mountains, - no trees whatever, and the wind blows something terrible. But we are all well. We never felt better.

We must close now. Don't worry, as everything is fine.

Love and best wishes,
from, "The Kids".

Dear Rayson:
We are here today. Had a big rain and wind storm last night and didn't sleep very well. We just had our pictures taken and I will send them to you. Hoping you are well, I am.
Yours, Edythe.
