God Bless Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt. I, as well as Nick, finally got a job along with other starving Americans, who were relieved with the chance to put food in their mouths again. The last few years have been tough, and now we are beginning to see the light. We were employed to construct city infrastructure. We move on to the next project after one is done. LaGuardia Airport, the Triborough and Bronx-Whitestone bridges, the Lincoln and Brooklyn-Battery and Queens-Midtown tunnels, most of the Henry Hudson Parkway and Bridge, the FDR Drive, the Belt Parkway, and most of the subways are created because of the New Deal, and we are getting the money, however meager, to feed us properly.

Now, I am being transferred to work for the CCC, leaving New York to pave roads in Mesa Verde National Park. Nick refused to travel such a long distance or higher pay, but I would like to spend some moment in the embrace of nature instead of the stifling cradle of the concrete desert that is New York City. I do not understand the procedures because it seemed terribly inefficient to transfer a New Yorker halfway across the country to work on a project. What is my value there? I do not think I could figure it out even with all that time riding on the railroad. One other thing I could not figure out was why did everyone disobey the Constitution and how did that get the constitutional amendment banning alcohol removed?
