Tampa, Fla.
April 11, 1937
My sister & I are thru work down here now and sorry because we liked our job so well.
It was the most exclusive county club in Fla. We are starting North Tues. by way of Connecticut to visit awhile. Our mother came down by train to go back with her. Hope you are both well.
Love, Peggy
Mr. and Mrs. Russell White

Did you know the International Carillon Festival is happening right now at Bok Tower Gardens? You can purchase tickets at the link, but I am in no way a paid sponsor for the historic landmark, nor am I going to receive any complimentary admission for posting this link. At least not yet, anyway. However, in accordance with the festival, welcome to the second in this week's hastily arranged series on Bok Tower Gardens.
If Peggy and her sister were working in an exclusive country club in Tampa, there are two possibilities. The Palma Ceia Country Club was founded in 1916 and is still so exclusive that even its website is members only. The Temple Terrace Golf Club was founded in 1922, so either club could have laid off the two ladies in the midst of the Great Depression. it's natural they travelled to one of Florida's oldest and peaceful historic landmarks to convalesce before gaining the strength to travel to Connecticut. (Again, I am not a paid sponsor.)
There is no Edgemont St. in Indianapolis, but there is an Edgemont Ave., with an old house at the address on the card. There is an obituary for a J. Russell White, who was a prominent attorney in Indianapolis. Marion County's property records are difficult to obtain from more than a decade ago, so there is no record of a recent sale of the house.
