DR.. Chapman, wife and i reached here
last night at 8 o'clock. We came from
Portland, Maine direct by boat, which
was very fine trip indeed. 1t was my
first experience on the Ocean out of
land, and ! found it lovely to watch
the beautiful waves leaping and roll
ing, seemingly trying to catch each
other. but after looking while at this
beautiful sight a marvellous change
comes over our dream that changes all
around us and causes US to lose our
interest in the rolling waves and caus.
g, us to feel that we don't care fig
whether we are in mid -ocen or on the
land, or whether the waves roll or not.
Dinner is announced, but the very
idea of eating was repugnant to our
idea of propriety, so did not enter the
dining room.
Our boat was named "The State of
Name" and is the finest boat that sails

Today we visited Harvard COLLEGE
and Wesley. Everything in these no.
ted seats of learning are on grand
and magnificent scale; the grounds
surrounding them are most beautiful
to behold. Our guide showed us all
most prominent buildings, but owing
to the fact tn Vt our time was limited,
we could not visit all that we wlshe d
to. Wesley is said to ba the greatest
school for young ladies, but being va
cation, most of the school buildings
were closed for repairs. preparatory for
he fall term. These are certainly ideal
locations and am notsurprised at the
love manifested for them by those who
have attended them.
Tomorrow we go to the famous town
Iof Plymouth, the evor memorable place
where our Pilgrim Fathers landed in
1922. We suppose we will have to kiss
the old rock where our fathers first
stood on landing in this then new and
strange world. Ireland has Its Blarney
Stone and Uncle Sam his Plymouth
Rock, both historic and reveered.
We will go by boat and will about
consume the day.
There are many other places would
like very much to visit but am getting
80 tired of travel and worn out that
will have to give it up, and unless l
change my mind, will leave for New
York City on Friday, and then to Chi
cago, which hope to reach on Mon
day, where expect to visit our friend
Mrs Jack Ryan, who formerly taught
school In the Valley and roomed with
me, whom you will remember as Miss
Usselman, and then for home ! am
so ANXIOUS to know how you are, as 1
have been from home so long and have
been on the go so much that l could
not hear from home; and find, after
all there is no place like home.
have so much to tell you of all the
Sights have seen since leaving home,
the plesure of travel, the hardships on
the way, and incidents in city and the
country, by land and by sea, that am
not able to tell by letter so must defer
further remarks until reach home.
