California Letter From Newton Describes Roads and Ranch Life
A former Do than boy now living in California writes a long letter home detailing cross state travels by Ford and foot, a 26000 acre Merced County cattle ranch with 10000 cattle, artesian wells, and orchards. He notes weight gain to 196 pounds, swims 350 yards with a child, and describes local people, fruit drying, and daily hard work in real estate and farming. He recalls trips from Los Angeles to Shaver Lake, mountain driving, and praises California's farms and climate while signaling family updates and future hopes.
