Dear Mother,

Here’s a picture of our cabin camp. It really is quite nice. Air-conditioned too. How are you now? Hope you’re much better. Delores hasn’t been at all well lately–I think it’s intestinal flu. Will write much more later.

Love Carroll

I marked our cabin.

About ELMalvaney

In addition to ruling over the MissPres universe with an iron fist, Malvaney enjoys reading, wandering around old buildings, stopping to smell the magnolias, fiddling with databases, and sitting on the porch with a good book and a big ol' dog. Non-interests include but are not limited to tweeting, texting, IMing, planking, Angry Birds, and the Twilight series.

  2. Cabin camp! The phrase brings to mind the short film “Camps of Crime” from the 1930s. This looks a bit more established than many of its kind.
