From the letter: "My Dear Katherine Joe Harry & Dad, May god bless you all I got your letter and was so blue... I love you all & trying to make some money. I will send you soon as quick as I can..."
In 1926 evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson disappeared from Venice Beach in California for 5 weeks. She emerged in Mexico, claiming to have been kidnapped. A grand jury investigation indicated that she had actually been staying with a former employee, Kenneth Ormiston. The case against McPherson was finally dismissed. - Caption
