1876*

For an art exhibit held in Dublin, N. H., the past summer, Barry Faulkner loaned four drawings of murals which are to decorate walls in the State Capitol at Concord. In the first mural Daniel Webster as a boy is represented reading the Constitution of the United States. In the second mural Governor Wentworth, just arrived in Hanover, is greeting President Wheelock; the occasion being the first commencement of Dartmouth College. In the third mural General Stark is leaving his farm to join the Continental army. In the fourth Abbott Thayer is explaining camouflage to a company of his friends.

Hardison, though confined indoors, still in a measure keeps up his customary interests. His letters are as entertaining as heretofore, and he writes oftener. His correspondence includes child reminiscence, present happenings and his indoor daily occupation. His graceful handwriting shows no alteration.

Hunt and Peabody send typed letters. Morrill, McCutcheon and Tripp prefer chirography. Worthen dictates to his daughter, Mrs. Thompson, who uses script. His letters have a second reading both for the matter and the handwriting.
