[Postcard of Hotel Occidental dining room]
[No date, but postmarked 10-4-34]
The pictures were beautiful. The other two get kissed [?] almost a million times a day.
I’m going to take you, Gene, and my friend, Mrs. Boehringer, to the Occidential for dinner the first night you are here. Just had lunch with Maury Maverick and Dick Tullis, commercial attaché from U.S. to Mexico. Grand food, lovely surroundings--but no Bird.
Lyndon
