Harry here is probably Harry Schmidt. The Congo Club might have been a nightclub in Los Angeles.

Arnold's Story: 1945 misc

I discovered this letter a bit late to place in order for 1945. The envelope shows it is from Arnold's Boston days and seems to describe activities from his lumberjack time in northern California.

Here is a July 12, 1945, envelope from Harry Schmidt, whose contents I could not find, but the envelope shows Arnold now six or seven hours up the road from Glendale at Camp Pinedale, Fresno. (I lived about a half mile from there between 1990 and 1995 when I taught at California State University Fresno, a factoid I just calculated right now.)

I am not sure who Eva is, but here is an undated photo and note from here. The ranch she mentions might be the Elmer's logging camp; that is of course a complete guess on my part. The photo and note  may be from a year or two earlier.
