f 5 5-ff l ' an ings ,-:ffl - -- se X, 'TPI-'R DEAR Jo: Here we are in Denver and Pm still ready for more. I'ni not a bit tired, now, altho I'z'e seen about all of Denver. Did you get my Card from Colorado Springs? All of the kids I told you who fainted were all right next day. Guess all they needed was a little sleep. Peggy and I are staying at a rieh alder- 1nan's house. He and his wife have been just perfeet to us. They have three ser- vants and three ears. You should see our roomg private bath, maid,-ezferything. Last night the Boy's Glee Club sang at the 'lt1C'11,8 meeting while we sang at a young people's meeting in one of the south side ehurehes. I had a date with Bob after the meeting and we went out to Eliteh's Gardens. Is it swell? About the whole chorus was there, too. We took in everything-rode the roller coaster thriller four times-johnny Hump has a keen banzl and was there ever a big crowd dancing? Had to ride 11 miles in a tax to get to our house. Poor Bob had to ride 7 more miles after that. This ,morning we sang at a north side church. About 5:30 the whole chorus was entertained at a buffet supper at one of the ehurehes. Then we went to the big Sunday night session of the General As- sembly to sing. The Denver Post said that we sang to ten thousand people. The as- sembly was held in the big Municipal dIH1lf07'i1ltt1. The pipe organ is larger than the one we have at the College. Gee! I. was thrilled! Heard we sang pretty good, too. Tomorrow we leave for Canon City. You know the Royal Gorge is there and the kills say we are going to drive out to the Gorge in ears. Say hello to Katie for me. Lore, HELEN. XX iQ- 2 -i K If
