STATE HISTORIAN, U. D. C.

STATE HISTORIAN, U. D. C
....
I fully realize the stupendous task
that was yours, and all those who
carried so much responsibility with
you certainly have the satisfaction
of knowing that the occasion was
crowned with success.

I enjoyed the day from the be-
ginning to the end. Elizabethtown's
hospitality was abounding and un-
bounded. I shall always remember
the day as one of the most pleas-
and and profitable that I have ever
spent.

     With every kind wish,
             Sincerely, your friend,
         BLANCHE L. SMITH.
     (Mrs. Seth L.) Mrs. Smith is state
historian of the U. D. C.--Editor
