Palm Beach, Fla, December 15, 1942
Dear Feverfew:-
Greetings from Florida once more- guess it will be for the last season until the war is over so we must make the most of it. We are at Trailer Garden, W. Palm Beach for the winter and like it here. Friendly people and a very pretty small camp. Husband’s sister and her husband are at Lake Worth, seven miles from here, I a home so we shall be with them at Christmas as usual. We go there for Sun. dinner usually, the only driving we do. I can if weather is right, walk to shopping center about 1 ½ miles. The open beach is probably ½ mile further across Lake Worth.
Best Wishes,
Wanderer
Mrs. Etta Briggs
Pratt St.
Halifax, Mass.
Wistful musings about the war being over from a tin can tourist. With gas rationing during the war, visitors to Florida found their journeys limited, if they could travel to Florida at all. The Trailer Garden may still exist, given the rough directions that our Wanderer provides us.
Etta Briggs was born in 1877 and died at the age of 91 in Halifax, Massachusetts. The town of 7,000 people has a historical commission, so I have contacted them to shed any more light on Ms. Briggs and perhaps her mysterious "wanderer."
