often. That one sounds good to me but let me know what we are to furnish as soon as you can. I think I will bring a few things along, to cook & eat with on the way, as it will be too expensive to eat all our meals out. One of my customers was in today who had just made the trip back there & she told me she would bring their maps in for me to use. They are all marked. She says it is a wonderful road. You go on the turn pike. What do you think of me going down to [Reaber?] & getting a courtesy card for gasoline & then I can pay for it when we get home. I guess that is what you call it. I wouldn't have to carry so much money that way. How much money do you think I should carry? I will get it in traveler's checks. Ruth had $60.00 she let me, have & I put it in the back to be used later on to help pay Montgomery Ward's. I thought if we had it, we could use it if an emergency arose. They have never sent a bill yet. I am going to wait & let you give them the check when you get home.  This is the stationary the kiddies gave me for Mother's day. Isn't it nice? You asked me if I saw your mothers hand, where she ran the splinter in. No I didn't for she didn't say a word about it. She has a nice garden in & she gave me some flower plants to set out.
