1889*

Earle wrote April 10 that he had returned from St. Petersburg, Fla., where he had spent the winter, to New York, and expected to remain in that city "until Vermont opens its spring, probably very early in May." A bold weather prophet is he!

A letter from Flagg, written April 22, mentioned with enthusiasm visits in Annapolis, Washington, Charlottesville, Monticello, and Williamsburg. The University of Virginia and the College of William and Mary have his hearty approval. He was delighted with Thomas Jefferson's architecture and enthralled by what he saw in Williamsburg. The Skyline Drive of more than sixty miles over the Blue Ridge Mountains he recommends to all who can take it. Earlier Chester had told me that his four main rooms and two chimneys of their made-over house in Marblehead are parts of the original house built in 1690 and occupied by Judge Sewall, one of the judges who condemned some of the Salem witches in 1692. "He lived long enough to be very penitent."

Frost returned via Asheviile, N. C., and the Skyline Drive in Virginia to his home in cold New England, arriving April 34. He and Mrs. Frost had been in Florida since November. The first visit to their summer home in Gilmanton, N. H., showed a snowdrift in the front yard and ice on the lake.

Miss Marion Elizabeth Riley, youngest daughter of our classmate, was married April 15, to Mr. Paul O. Curtis. Their home is in Weston, Mass. Mr. Curtis has been for many years a life insurance general agent in Boston.
