Nellie writes she has $130 left to spend, might have to use her American Express, and hopes Rod will lend her $100 cash. Her upcoming conferences include meeting with government officials and touring historic sites. The accommodations are similar to the others from her European trip, and the furniture is very nice. In the margin on the front, Nellie writes she will see Rod in 4 days and she misses everyone terribly. It has been storming for most of the trip, and there was a earthquake near the coast. Nellie is still buying bottled water, though she thinks it's probably okay to drink tap now.
