Looking west at the Chicago River. The Michigan Avenue bridge is in the foreground. At right, the Wrigley Building is partly visible. Behind this, the Sun-Times Building, and just behind that is the Wabansia Avenue bridge. In the background is the State Street Bridge.

Your news was very disappointing. Next time you set the time, I ask you to send; and come. My Chicago visit was successful. Peggy boarded the bus this morning to leave La Porte. How was Bloomington, Indiana?
Love,
Georgia
