two accompanying demons. In proper personnae, Virginia (Jim-E) Daugherty, with Walter Daigherty and Forrest J (no period) Ackerman, stylishly dressed in the new khaki suiting so much in vogue at present. I was, as you may well-understand, joyed greatly to meet my two old pals and friends, and to meet Walt's very charming and beautiful bride. We finally extricated ourselves from the station and its crowds, and by street-car (no taxis available) to the Daughtery apartment. 

There we gabbed until after midnight, and then I was escorted to my own apartment at the renowned Tendrill Towers, 620 So Bixelstrasse, where I met Jimmy Kepner and Alva (Red) Rogers, the others being properly asleep.

Thus arrived I at my haven of dreams. I am now a resident of the golden land of Southern California, where I have for so long wished to live. And now, ten days or so later, I can truthfully say that I am more than ever glad that I have moved out here. The weather thus far has been delightful, and I have been enjoying every crammed-ful minute.

I would be more than an ungrateful ass did I not end this little account of my journey with a sincere tribute to the great and whole-hearted generosity of friendships bestowed upon me by fans all along my route. They have gone out of their way to give me every assistance possible and to add to my pleasure in every imaginable way.

And especially must I pay tribute to the fans here in Los Angeles. They have not just made me welcome, they have gone all-out to get me settled and acclimated. The Daughterys gave me the use of their address to which I could have my mail, parcels post packages and express sent until such time as I had my own address. The boys at Tendril Towers and Daugherty rented in advance for me the rooms which I occupy, so that I would have my onw place as soon as I arrived. The first days of my stay, did I so much as mention that I had to go and perform some sort of errand, one or more of the boys would jump up and not merely tell me where to go, but accompany me to see that I found the place easily without delay. 

It has been the finest demonstration of practical and applied friendship one could ever imagine. It shows conclusively that I have been correct all along in my beliefs and preachments as to the great feeling of friendship that prevails among fans everywhere. It is something that I shall cherish all my life.

My sincere and humble thanks to all of you, you fine and wonderful people.

They laughed when I said "People are the swellest people!" I have once proved it to my entire satisfaction.

Truly, I am one of the happiest and most blessed of men!
