Description
Postcard from Earle Yusa to Joseph R. Goodman: Howdy Joe; I thought I'd have to hike up to Frisco to get away from this blasted heat down here but it cooled off sufficiently for me to live normally. I'll be back up there around June 11 as they are coming back for some urgent business so you'll see me sooner than you expected or I expected. Lately I've been doing office work, namely typing and sign making for a county Fair and Horse Show that the Assistance League here is sponsoring - Mrs. Irvine is the general manager. I'm missing the Y and the church groups that are so characteristic with the bunch that I run around with - certainly very little of it down here. Action is of only one kind here - defense industries - plain factories galore - what are we getting into? I'm expecting to hear from you. Incidentally, I hope you're OK. Earle.
