Tues. Noon
Arrive here about 5:30 this morning- made all connections but the crowds were terrible.  I feel as if someone had pummeled me.  That train in St. L. had already loaded 1/2 hr. before e got there - so standing room only.  Two soldiers squeezed me in with them - so we rode, All aisles were crammed.  Thanks for everything.
Love,
Ginnie
