Then I went by Galveston and on to West Columbia to the Roscoe Court for last night. Nobody works on Sunday so I came on down here, stopping only at the Triton in Corpus Christi. Keep the home fires burning until I get back. It's cold down here. Lots of love to all, Ted." Addressed to Mrs. Edward A. Eve, Jr., 8211 St. Clairborn Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana.
