 "Never have I enjoyed the won derful treat more than this year. Each night was a feast in itself. If half of those who attended apprecia- ted and enjoyed the concerts as much as did, you have given happi- ness to great many people. I be- lieve all enjoyed them. Your grounds were never more attractive. The weather was perfect. Everything combined to add to the enjoyment of the occasion. You certainly make many hearts glad. It is something to live for to hear such music"
 "Please accept our very sincere thanks and appreciation for the de- lights and joy we derived from the concerts at Norfolk. Words seem in- adequate and yet there is no better way to express our thanks. Every thing about the concerts seemed the best yet and certainly we have a memory that will stay long with us. l feel a personal obligation to you for the interest you are taking in the New Hartford chorus. I wish you might know what support and en- couragement it is to us who have the burden and responsibility of this chorus and I also hope the day is not far off when we may come into closer affiliation and be able to con- tribute something to the Litchfeld County Choral union."
 'It was truly disappointment, on Friday, not to find you at home, for l wanted so much to tell you of my enjoyment and appreciation of the glorious musical feast you gave us. Even admitting the heat, I do not think anything was ever finer than the Samson and the Hiawatha! We were so glad that they were given this year, for they are two of the most beautiful experiences of the many the shed has given us."
 "We have descended to lower lev els in more senses than one, but the memory of the days in Norfolk with the wonderful music and all the beauty about Whitehouse and the Music shed will stay with us. You will never know until you get to heaven how much richer you have 1 made the lives of many, many people. We poor mortals are sadly limited and feel it when we come to thank you"
 "Surely it has been splendid privilege to be asked year after year to Norfolk! The music in itself is an inspiration and delight. Much of that we can get elsewhere, but never in your perfect Norfolk setting, nor can we find anywhere else the ex- quisite hospitality and courtesy which you so freely extend to your guests. In that lies much of the charm which always comes to mind when we think of the many happy and helpful days we have spent in Norfolk. You have given us great pleasure and taught us beside g great deal in the finer side of living We are inexpressibly grateful for ii all and can hope only to repay you by trying to pass on to others, les: fortunate some portion of what yor have so generously and wholeheart edly placed in our lives. After al we believe this will best please you.
