short stay in Lancaster very pleasantly.

old fl;ends, with whom l had spent SO
many pleasant hours. My time, bowev.

without meeting an6 talking with many
friends and relatives with whom should
have been delighted to spend sometime.
The last night spent in Lancaster was
with my old precep,or and friend to whom,
with many others, am under many OBJ

him and family passed the night
very pleasantly. The DR.. with his usual
