Exploring the Evergreen State, Part III
Mt. Rainier, Calif.
On the third week of our tour of the state of Washington, we're heading up from Tacoma to beautiful Mt. Rainier National Park. At least, I hear it's beautiful. It's only a few hours away from the City of Roses, but I've only been there once, a long time ago. Maybe we'll hear more about it from these postcards!
MOUNT RAINIER AND OHOP VALLEY
Washington
Peaceful and tranquil Ohop Valley guarded by majestic Mt. Rainier. A view no tourist will want to miss.

Dear Aunt C,
I'm spending a few days visiting a friend who lives in Washington (State) near Tacoma, and last night we had a wonderful view of Mt. Rainier. In fact she lives near enough that we could drive up to the Lodge for dinner, see alpine glaciers and some remaining patches of snow. It was great!
Best love, NCO

Between the icy fingers of the glaciers lie natural gardens of wild flowers, in which the White Heather blooms profusely. There are 364 varieties of wild flowers some of which thrust their heads through the snow in June.

Dear Miss Searles,
The is the place to get and keep cool. I can shiver here most any time. I'm having a grand time. Hope you are feeling better.

MT. RAINIER AND MIRROR LAKE, WASHINGTON
Mt. Rainier, with an altitude of 14,408 ft., is the second highest mountain peak in the United Sates. From the summit of this extinct volcano a gorgeous panorama of lakes, streams, and wooded trails can be seen.
Dear Friend: Thanks for the nice card. Thanks very much for the remembrance.
The hands are a little better but none too good.
I hope both of you are in good health, we are fairly at present.
Tell Charles Hello for me until I can get to see you both again. Answer soon,
Sincerely,
John Opuk

"There's no way that hole is large enough to obscure the word 'unintelligible'", I initially thought, before thinking about it a bit more.
The word "few" would probably fit.
