| Transcript | Spring Lake New Jersey Sept. 1st My dear Jim, Enclosed you will find two pieces that will interest you when you have spare time to read them.

Just imagine a poor fellow working hard all week long and then turn over his money to those horrid dens. It is too bad, but as long as they exist, they will get lots of customers. I have taken only a few pictures. It costs so much to have them developed, but I may be able to take some before leaving. We took the children to the ocean this morning. Maybe we didn't have a great time. This surf was beautiful, and now that the equinoctials have an effect on the Ocean making it appear like mountains. It presents one of the most beautiful pictures. This lasts for about ten days sometimes accompanied with very heavy rains and ocean storms. I think the Royal Palm opens about November and Mr. and Mrs. are going to Florida […] |
