I would like to say to every Cheva-
lier in this department that this pro-
gram does not suit me and I trust that
it will not you; but it is the best that
1 can furnish at this time and as it is
So late 1 must not wait any longer.
I am unable to hear from Biddeford
and North Berwick, or the E. & NJ
Railroad and so cannot get rates from
these places, but believe that the
Cievaliers.- can get as good rates
from there as I could. l have no rates
from Vinalhaven, but think that those
Chevalicrs will get there just the
same
AS to hotel rates I have not word
to say, but there is plenty of room
and so come along to Bangor, and 1
will tell you the rest of it there.
