Dear Folks:
We were delayed
for a day in
Oklahoma City by
generator trouble, but
everything is fixed up
now, and we are again
Westward bound.
Love,
Wilfred

Oil Wells on
State Capitol Grounds,
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Oil Derricks, Oklahoma State Capitol
from the
Oklahoma Historical Society
Notes by RWF:
The car with generator trouble was a 1936 Buick sedan, recently purchased.
I've seen these oil wells pumping industriously on the State Capitol Grounds in Oklahoma City. It's a joy to see a state government appreciating the value of American-produced energy.
