Writing from Los Angeles, California, Juel describes the weather conditions, social activities, work and home life. She mentions a "novel experience," which was a flood along the base of the mountains as a result of heavy rainfall during the month of January. She also writes about her Spanish lessons and leisurely drives in the afternoon with a friend. In one passage about the popularity of the cañons, she describes, "Among the Mts. are so many pretty cañons and retreats that the roads are lined up with autos like a funeral procession every Sunday." Although she misses her friends and family, she would not change living in Southern California "for the middle west again unless necessity demanded it." Referred to in the letter are her brothers Melvin (born 1890) and Edwin (born 1892), and sister Polly (Palma) (born 1899), all in Canton, South Dakota.
