"Dear May: We arrived all safe and sound and are keeping house as cosy like as ??? bugs in a rug. Think Arizona is fine. There seem to be plenty of bachelors here judging from the stags that came into the theatre last night. Heard Sin Su's(?) Band — fierce indeed — Appreciated your card so much. First line I had from home. Alta."
