[Post card of ZEPHYR train to Lyndon B. Johnson from Gene [Boehringer]]
[Postmarked Oct. 12, 1934]
Dear Lyndon:
This is a marvellous [?] train. I’m riding it today from Houston to Dallas and it’s been such fun--averaging about ninety miles an hour. We’re in Corsicana for a minute now. Shall be in Dallas shortly. I wish you were to be there with Bird and all of us.
Gene [Boehringer]
