[underlined]To Palm Springs[/underlined]

In P.M. took the train for Palm Springs station, merely a station house on the desert, & there drove over to Dr. Willman Murry's place at the real Palm Spring - a 6 mile drive across sandy desert with a fierce sand storm raging. Made part of the trip after dark but saw most of the desert plants seen in crossing the valley north of Indio. Saw also a big mound, or sand dune, covered with a desert willow in blossom. Could get only a dim view of the palms and other tropical trees at the Springs. Found Mr. & Mrs. Murry a very genial & very interesting old couple. Both are pretty old & feeble & it is hard for them to keep up their place.
