dc.description.transcription	8-19-45Dear Folks,CalaforniahereIcome!Yep, I’m going west. –Way out west. Tomorrow afternoon at 1600 I am supposed to ship out of here by air for Long Beach, Calif. That is all I know so I am wondering the same as you what the score is. I’ll tell you frankly right now. I don’t think we will leave tomorrow by air. I’m ready and rareing but I don’t think the weather man will be. It looks pretty sad out and the shipment may be delayed –hope not because anyplace, even Calif., will be better than this hole.Tell you all about it when I get there.Love, Joe
