Dear Mom, I hope you are feeling well and that everything is okay. I’ve done some traveling since my last letter. We left New River on the 15th, and 6 days later, which was last nite, we arrived here at El Centro, Cal. The trip was very pleasant, and to the fact that we had pullman cars all the way. We came by the southern route, which is known as the “Sunset Route”. The states we went through are South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. From Yuma Arizona, to here, we traveled through Old Mexico. The part we went through, was mostly desert, but we did pass through a couple of pretty fair size towns, as we approached the border. I haven’t had much of a look at this place yet, but from what I have seen, it’s pretty nice. I’ll write more about it, as soon as I get settled. I’ll be here for a while yet, but I don’t know just how long: two or three months perhaps. I have a lot of unpacking and routine to get out of the way, so I’ll close now, but will write again soon. Regards to all. Love, Ed P.S. My address Sgt — -- V.M.B. - 443 M.B.D.A. g-43 U.S.M.C.A.S. El Centro, Cal
