 As so many of the friends of Dr. C, C. Gildersleeve and family have in- quired about them since my return from making them two days visit al their very pleasant and hospitable home 29 Lincoln avenue, Norwich, Conn.,, l will give general outline of our trip as my friend, l.. J. Leavitt, accompanied me, as I always enjoy good company, and this is not our first trip together. Upon our arrival in Norwich we repaired 10 the doctor s office, which is very nice and pleasant on Main street, where we received a hearty welcome and were soon con veyed in his auto to his home, where
 
 from the rest of the cousins. After en. toying nice dinner and a short visit we were invited to take ride to his office. So that during his office hours We could visit the places of interest near by and thus be ready to take an extended ride on the outskirts. One of the places of interest we visited after a fine ride was the Insane Asylum, to. gether with the barn, which is in charge of Daniel Flynn, who several years ago lived in East Woodstock with his family, and one. .of his daugh- ters is employed in the office at the asylum. Both father and daughter were pleased to meet old Woodstock friends. MT. Flynn showed us all through the immense barn which is lighted by electricity and is Furnished with all the modern appliances. They have 4 large silos. Their herd num- bers 80 with g cows and 2 large bulls, one of which was said to weigh 200C pounds. The balance of the stock ex- cept one pair of fine Devon oxen were young heifers of different ages. All the stock except the oxen were Holis- tein and were d fine sight We were told that they produced 300 quarts of milk daily which was all consumed in the institution, .as there are 1000 in. mates at present; three from Wood stock. Besides the stock, they have l 10 horses. They are preparing to build l large new horse barn. The farm Is an immense tract, which is quite sandy. On our way we could plainly see the Tubercular hospital situated on hill. We niso passed Laurel Park | from which one commands a great view in all directions, also the Falls
 which are wonderful and looked SC ' pretty with the sides covered with frozen spray Also the view from the reservoir was fine with such a steeI descent of valley below. Another drive i of great interest was to Haniic of about six miles, passing through Norwich town, which is full of history all tho
 way, the Parish meeting house ant Parish hill adjoining; the old schoo house, also the home of Grover Clev lands father; also the home of Mir and Mrs. Smith, missionaries, whC have visited friends in Woodstock al
 different times and presented theii work; and many other historic places and bearing their dates, which arI hard to remember in just passing through, but gives one lasting ides and is very interesting. 1 will alst mention the Stone Arch bridge ir Yantic which is fine and said to bt 1 the finest piece of masonery to bt found. 1t is planned so convenient and nice with round stone waiting room on each side of the approaches.
 will not take time and space to men ton farther except our call with pr ! Gildersieeve at the Baekus hospital as i he has been on the surgical sside of the | hospital for the last three months anC 1 this opportunity gave us line chance i to go through all of which is kept IT ! fine order. There are at presenG about i 40 patients. The garage was fine con ! taining a Cadallae ambulance, which ! cost about 5000 and is ready for datA day or night. We called al the home 1 of George Gary and reviewed our Prov i ineetown visit a fe Y years ago, when a
 party of us were his guests for few i days, and took fishing trip for the ! day out to the lodges towards Ply
 mouth and were very successful in oui ] catch. The party was conducted by ] ]. C. Ames. Mr. Cary in speaking o i our visit at that time said that tho
 place had changed so much that we
 would hardly know it today. l have  i visit and will close by saying that Dr l Gildersleeve and family wished to bt 1 remembered 10 all of their friends
 with Happy and prosperous Ne" ] Year.
