Fri., Dec. 5. Noon, 87 degrees today in Key West. Dear Boys, You've seen Fla. too so can't add much. However we did go to Key West over this wonderful highway. Key West is an old city -- and very tropical, hot, damp, old, and interesting. We saw cork, bread fruit, sappadillo, avocado trees -- ate turtle steak -- and Fla. lobster. Saw a man making cigars. We're on the "Keys" tonight. Mrs. Page
