Averted Imagination: Austin, TX
Heading off for my first trip to Texas. I should really be taking a cowboy hat I guess, or maybe a fine dress western like this Stetson 100. Top of the line in its day, it retailed for a C note in the 1950’s and 60’s - a lot of change back then.

Seeing that the young princesses were having trouble with their swimming, FDR gave Trixie and Irene each a set of waterwings to help them float.
In this letter, Trixie and Irene thank the President for his gift and express their affection for FDR’s dog, Fala. The photo is of a Picnic for Princess Juliana at the Roosevelt
