Will write a letter soon as we get there.
Dear Mom & Daddy— We are 17 mi. past Denver at 7 p.m. Kans. was almost under water. It was muddy & under water all the way across. Colo. didn't look as if they'd had any rain for 6 mo. until we got almost to Denver. Roger's bowels are still loose. I'm giving him his medicine. Paul is working on the car now. We drove nearly all nite last nite. Lots of love Juanita
