Then back to Huntsville & Trinity. We are new seeing lots of oil wells at a distance. We are still going thru rice fields, did yesterday most of the afternoon. We have seen them in all stages, most interesting. We have certainly seen ships of all kinds and more large Ocean streamers than I have ever seen before. For more interesting country than I dreamed of. Trees along and green of the rice good for eyes. Myrtle. Mr. and Mrs. O. V. Hines, 72 Logan Ave. Asheville, N.C.'
