Dear Folks:
            I got a new Firestone tire in St. Louis & left there at noon yesterday. Tire is synthetic, of course, & $17.00. I went out to the plant with Arlan and looked around for an hour. Stayed in Madisonville, Ky. last nite and left there about 5 this morning. Highway 41 was real good and 70 N is so far. Nice scenery around here. Nashville smells & didn’t stop there any longer than I had too. All for now.
