April I 7. Got up early this morning and started out again. Went to Supreme Court building first, then to the capitol where we climbed to the top of the dome. After we got down we went to the House of Representatives and Senate. In the Senate the Wisconsin senator was fillibustering for Wisconsin cheese. This afternoon we went to the White House. Mrs. Morgenthau received us, because Mrs. Roosevelt was away. Tonight we were presented to the Continental Congress at Constitution Hall. The United States Marine Band played such stirring music. Every one was in evening dress. I’m still so excited I don’t know whether I can get to sleep or not, but I’ve got to, for it is 2:00 A. M. and I get up at 6:00 every morning. April 18. Before we left this morning about six of us went out to see the Franciscan Monastery. It is a secluded place up on a hill surrounded with trees and flowers. There are 4000 different varieties of roses planted over the surrounding hills. We went down into the underground catacombs. They were so ancient and eerie. We left this afternoon for New Orleans. Georgia, Louisiana, New Mexico, and I are traveling together. They are all such nice girls. April 19. Went through Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Arrived in New Orleans tonight. New Mexico and I are staying at the YWCA. We are sharing the only room available with two Mexican girls. April 20. Got up at six this morning and started seeing the town. The Louisiana girl lives in New Orleans, so she showed us around. Went down through the French Quarter, which wasn’t at all what I had expected; in fact, I was glad when we got out safely. Down in the heart of that district was a beautiful cathedral—quite a contrast to its surroundings. We walked down Canal Street which is the longest in the United States. After a few other places we caught the 10:40 train. I’m glad to be heading home. It took us all day to cross Texas. Arrived in El Paso a short time ago. The New Mexico girls got off soon after, so I’ll be by myself from now on. April 22. It took all night to cross New Mexico and all day to cross Arizona and Southern California. Arizona looks like I thought it would—rim-rocks, cactus, sagebrush and Mexicans. We passed Salton sea, the desert where Sahara Desert scenes are made in movies. Gary Cooper had just finished Beau Geste. I had to change trains in Los Angeles after about three hours stop-over. April 23-24. Have been in Redding two days visiting my cousin. Yesterday we went up in the mountains to see a gold mine in operation and today we went to see the Shasta dam under construction. April 25. Left Redding this afternoon, homeward bound, and I’m so glad. The train is winding around the base of Mt. Shasta and the country is very wild and beautiful. April 26. Slept fine last night. It must be the good old Oregon atmosphere. We will be in Portland in a few minutes, and if it were any longer I think I could not wait. I really believe I’m just as anxious to get back as I was to start. To think that it was only about two and a half weeks ago that I was leaving—it seems like months. But every minute of it has been glorious, and I’m certain of one thing, “Oregon is the Best State in the Union.”
