Dear Mutuats:
Perhaps, like myself, your thoughts
turn to that question which annually
appeals to us for a decision-the time
and place for the holding OF our reunion.
Erne Slime called me up by telephone the
evening OF August q, and assured me that
she would be glad to have Us meet again ct
her cottage ct Contention Cove.
We do appreciate the invitations we
have received from the different nieces, and
would like to accept all Of them, only in
that case we should have quarterly, instead
of annual meetings. Az last year our
plans were laid to meet ct the Wyman
cottage, / am taking the responsibly Of
appointing September IS, a. the date whom
place, with the next fair day in view il
that day should be stormy.
