Additional Details:
Half of this town is in Texas and half in Arkansas. Everybody drinks half-and-half. Half water and the other - half water. The state line runs right through the center of the city. Everybody hangs their washing on the line. In some places they arrest you if you are the list bit out of line. They don't here unless you are all in. Lots of twins here. They call it the Twin City. Texarkana has two fine sanitariums - one on either side. They operate for appendicitis here on both sides. Have found this to be a fine place - Eleven seventy in Texas and five dollars in Arkansas - or ten days. Will be here at least ten days.
