To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.

Hotel Washington Greenville, S.C.



Post marked Greenville, April 9, 11 AM, 1934, S.C. :

On Hotel Washington letterhead:

Dear Ange,
I am writing you this letter to let you know I am Still thinking about you. We arrived in this hotel Sunday night. It sure is raining here. We expect to reach Miami by Tuesday evening and then I will write you again. Don't forget that I want to hear from you. I am having a good time but I sure miss you. I haven't much to write about yet but I send you my love and I hope you are having a good time. Tell your mother I said hello, also the rest of the family. Hoping to hear from you I remain Guy Daines Jr.,
(P.S.) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


I wonder if the hotel Washington is still there?
I can't find any information about this hotel, but on the letterhead it states that there are "Modern, reasonable rates" [available]
*Interesting about this letterhead is that "Hotel Clinchfield" is printed in the upper lefthand side of the paper. --Still not able to find either the Hotel Washington, or Hotel Clinchfield in Spartenburg, but wonder if it the Hotel Clinchfield had anything to do with the railroad system, "Clinchfield".
