In late November, Elsie Upton headed down to San Francisco, with her good friend Mildred Loomis.  The two women took a ship to Hawaii where they stayed for several days.

Dearest Family:

We had a wonderful trip to San Francisco.  This is a beautiful morning.  I am looking for Ellen(1) soon because it is now 10AM.  We didn't get here until very late for us about 1AM.  I tho't that you would like to know.

"Dear Margaret:

This looks very much like our Stateroom.  This has been a wonderful trip.  We will be in Honolulu tomorrow morning.  They had a Party for us last night.  It was very beautiful.  Poor Mildred isn't very well to-day.  Our hotel will be Halekulani.  I miss you all and will see you soon.

Mom"
