Dearest Folks,

     We just arrived today.  We are in a worse place than Camp Ord.  We sure had a heck of a trip.  We had to get up at 2:30 A.M. every morning and I had to drive all day, then we had a concert every night in what ever town we were in and never got to bed before 10:30 or 11:00.  So right now I am pretty tired.  I am writing this by lamp light and they are going to turn them out in about 3 minutes.  I didn't realize what time it was.  Any way we don't have breakfast until 7:15 tomorrow.  I will finish this tomorrow.

     5/26/41  Here I am back again.  Right now it is hotter than blue blazes.

     I am sorry that I didn't write before but we didn't have time for anything.

     We are 22 miles from King City.  Right up the hills, where the sun gives until it hurts.

     How is everyone at home?  I hope everything is fine.  Has George done anything on my car yet?

     I received a letter from Georgia yesterday.  She said she didn't like California at all.  She also said that she was going back to Washington, probably soon.  They are going to the ocean some Sat. and come back Sunday.  They are going to stop and pick me up.  I am going to try and see them next Sunday.  That is if we don't  have to play a concert.  We have played one every night since we left.

     Will close for now, hoping to hear from you all soon.

                                                 Love to all,

                                                       Rex
