in a private letter from Schoharie
81 arrived here Saturday morning and
was Hospitality received by the Handy

ner when Joe took me out to climl
the highest mountain. 1t was quite
task for me, but oh, the beauty anC
the grandeur that met our eyes as We
took birds eye view of the surround
ing country. Schoharie is nestled il
a very fertile valley. Hills and small
mountains tower up on all sides of it
and off in the distance you can see tn,
peaks of the Catskills spring up unit
they kiss the heavens. The air is yer,
invigOrating and quite cool. Winte
clothes feel none too comfortable,
tell you. The evenings especially ar
cold and frosty and makes one fee
like huddling around an old fireplace
even if you only succeed in gettin
one side baked at time. However,
try to be out most of the time and rov
around this beautiful country, whicI
in its autumnal tints is a picture @
rare beauty to a Delawarean. I an
feeling much better and think tn
change will do me lots of good. Their
is no sameness about the scenery here
Everywhere you go there is somethin
new. Where you see babbling broo
streaming down a mountain side in on
place, in another you catch the splen
dor of waterfall or some projectin
precipice hundreds of feet above tn
SchOharie river. We are not over fiv
: miles from Howe's cave, which I al
, told is next in size to the Mammot
Cave"
