Dust Storm in Rolla, Kansas 05-06-35 (4546091662)

Original Caption: "Rolla Kansas, May 6-35. Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt. Washington DC. Dear Mr. Roosevelt, we are mailing you a picture of the dust storm which came April 14-35. This was a northeast wind and darkness came. When this hit us the sun was shining bright and darkness was coming on at 3 o'clock in the evening. Taken from the water tower one hundred feet high. Yours truly, Chas. P. Williams. Rolla Kansas." This caption is often abridged, but this is the full letter as quoted by the FDR Library; abridged captions often make the date of the letter look like the date of the dust storm.
