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 beginning to the end. Elizabethtown's hospitality was abounding and unbounded. I shall always remember the day as one of the most pleasant and profitable that I have ever spent.

     With every kind wish,
             Sincerely, your friend,
         BLANCHE L. SMITH.
