Charley Nourse writes to his parents from Los Angeles, noting rain slick streets, damp air, and a tough job market. He describes high living costs, many eateries, widespread real estate signs, and a belief that easterners may hear only one side of the story. He mentions potential work with Hume Telephone Co or Pacific Power & Light and contemplates leaving barbering for broader travel.
