New iIampshire--Dear Junior: As have
never seen "a letter from this remote cor
ncr of the United States I at last realize
the fact that my northern cousins are
not very well represented in the columns

had been subscriber to The Constitu-
tion since my earliest remembrance and
We have become very much attached to
the paper and the south. Since early child
hood / have lived with my grandparents
on a farm mid the hills OF old New

thinly settled village of Etu1. There you
find a church postofiiCc. butter factory,
grist and shnglc mill. two stores and
Two lumber mills. Mink brook affords
the water power except in the drNest
seasons, when the gasolcne engine Is
/ called into use. About miles toward
the west is situated the ilOurishing town
/ of Hanover, where Dartmouth college is
( located. There are many fine college
an observatory, from which YOU have
commanding view of the surrounding
/ country and other buildings too numer-
ous 10 mention. Farther eastward and
bordcring upon MaScOma lake are some
nj tho finest dwelling houses in this vi
cinitN: here also are the Baltic mills.
This place is called Enfield. / do not
wish to weary YOU with Il long letter this
