[This letter is one of a series from a trip the LP took. The date is based off the postmark date of one of the letters (9/10/45). That envelope was sent from New York in the later half of the trip. The rest of the letters are dated based on the location LP was at in relation to the NY postmark.]

Dearest love:
It is a beautiful day- we are rolling along between Albuquerque and Las Vegas, in the bright sunshine. The desert between Barstow and Needles was wonderful last evening.
I read my paper and magazine and part of Zachary Taylor, and slept from 9 to 9, after my supper of cheese and crackers and pickles, wich all tasted fine. I have also been thinking about my Chicago speech, and about Thorfin and other people and Cal Tech.
The train is, as usual, full of movie men ^ (I suppose) with lounging jackets & open ^-neck shirts.
Love from
Paddy
Let me know if you hear from Liny. I had my hair trimmed- this morning- only 75¢!
