2 We want to stop at the Grand Canon of Arizona a day or two and at my son's place in Texas a week if we can But we must
get home by the 31st of Oct when our tickets will expire If we could get away sooner earlier our stay would be that much longer
but I cannot When I am visiting friends and places of great natural interest I hate to be on a limited ticket but I am not
rich enough yet to afford any better so that will have to be the best The visit with you is the a illegible of the whole trip
and if I could make it soon after coming to San Francisco it would have the right of way and I could pinch the time on some
of the others However I will hear from you not likely before I start but your letter could follow me And I will write again
en route Hoping all goes well I remain as ever Your old time friend W. H. Trout 03758
