(Letter from Paul to brother Rudy, sent from Oakland, California to Passaic, New Jersey.)

Dear Rudy & Ann,

I've been out here over a week now & I'm working at the Kaiser shipyards in Richmond as a journeyman machinist. I'm living with Ray Campbell's brother, Gil, who is a riveter at the shipyards.

I stayed several days at (2nd) Uncle Marius Pedersen's in Salt Lake on the way out. We spent on day up in the Watsatch Mts. & they're the most beautiful mts. I've ever seen.

Please write when you have time and don't forget to write Vic and Ma & Pa regularly.

Best regards,
Paul
