but there are hundreds dead and & wounded. There was a baby born in the park Wednesday night - we sleep under the trees. The government is feeding us - they deal out rations you stand in a line guarded by the soldiers and are given whatever they have to give - we have a few to eat and drink - Yesterday evening one line was 10 thousand people long - we build fires to cook by, but have to put them out at night - we will leave for Los Gatos as soon as possible, they will issue free tickets to all parts of the U.S. The millionaires are sending food to us - and will send tents as soon as they can be gotten. I am so shakey I can't hardly hold the pencil. But I am so thankful I am alive and not hurt. O, Lord, how thankful I am to be alive. We have not lost anything yet - but don't know how we will get out of here. One gentleman lent us a mattress, two pillows and a blanket and quilt one night. We had nothing but two pillow and a bench. I ache terribly, but hate to complain. I sent you a piece of cardboard yesterday - but don't know whether you will get it. Do write to us when we get to Los Gatos - we have made some friends out here and are getting along very well, if I can only keep well. We have no dews here so I guess we will survive.
