Dear Leone:
We ate lunch yesterday in Brownsville. Found a new, unusually nice gift shop. There are ten Kansas City people stopping at different resorts. Mrs. Roy Rodgers is playing cards tonight. Enjoying our stay here. It's a beautiful place and good food. Went to the Allen County Club with friends; they had a decent party for us too. Love, Dorothy Lyndon, Kansas.
