Letter # 3

February 2^nd? 1943

To: Mr. C B Thomas

Raleigh, North Carolina

 

Dear Dad,

            Whatta trip!  Finally got train from Baltimore 10:45.  It has the oldest coach in existence on it and I get it.  Just like the West Chester to Phila local went back and forth on siding in Washington until 2:00am – coming into Raleigh N.C. now, 9:00am expect to get to Miami this time tomorrow (I sincerely hope).  Took back off of two seats and tried to make a bed car, awfully cold – one of 200 fellows, tuck foot through window, 6 cars on the special train.

Dave
