Love Letter #3 Vernon Phelps to Martha Becker April 27, 1933

Vernon wrote letter #3 only 2 days after his last letter, written in Walker MN.  According to Google maps, the journey by foot would have been a little over 3 days of continuous walking, not accounting for sleep time.  Vernon made it in 2 days. Perhaps he rode a train.  It also makes me wonder where they slept along the way.
