OF fairy princes and golden chariots.
People also died there and this little
spot or this bit OF landscape was the
last vision Of the world that they be-
held. Young people, strong and happy,
went far away from this old home-
haps some Of them never went back
except in. their thoughts and day
dreams. There IL no. man or woman
whose thoughts now and then do not
go back to the old home, and then
they can see tho flower bushes, the
bles. the porch and the arbor just a.
clearly as such things can be painted.
So, q good many reflections came to
the Rampler az he passed the spot
where once had been q home. But the
old house was left by those who loved
1t. It became crooked ana inirm. It
went the way Of everything that man
sets up. whether he builds with sand
or planks of granite, and now only a
little heap Of debris and few apple
trees and lilac bushes mark where It
stood.
Aquila Bauckman died in 1853. The

children OF Aquila and Emily Bauck-

In the drst Of these rambles In the

the Rambler left the cars at Belmont
station and reviewed a part Of the
history OF the Alexandria. Loudoun
and Hampshire railroad-he wrote:

Kesuming the march north along
the road leading from Ashburn to the
Leesburg pike and in the direction
OF Belmont Chapel and Belmont

be an enticing place to rest at on q

april $, 1918.
Dear Friend
| received your letter and package
this week, very glad to hear from YOU
and that you are all we'll, and can as
sure you appreciate the things you
sent very much. You could not have
sent a better assortment of tobacco
and the sweater is fine and | want to
thank you all for your kindness We
are IN the southwestern part and the
weather has been nice here for the
last three months but it has been rain
ing quite lot this last week. The
climate is very mild. the nights are
cool but ii is warm and sunshine dur
ing the day. There was a little snow
the first of the year but ii did not last
long. The whole country around here
is planted to pine, the forests have
been kept in good condition and the
trees are tapped for turpentine. The
logging is done about the same as
there, the logs are hauled to the mill
by railroad. The mill cuts between
sixty and seventy thousand feet in
twenty hours. 1t does not look much
like war here. Rolling logs gets pretty
mOnOtonous but / guess we will be
here for some time. Well there is not
much TO write so will close with best
wishes to you all and Mr.. Meade.
Thanking you all for your kindness
Your friend,
