1886

Hurrah, we have a cheerful letter from Albro Blodgett, 2160 Scottwood Ave., Toledo, Ohio. He says that he and Mrs. Blodgett were able at Christmas to visit his son and wife in Shields, a suburb of Pittsburgh. His arthritis seems to be improving, but he says of past days compared with the present:—"While some of today's pleasures and conveniences are fine, I would rather go back to the horse and buggy days. What pleasures I got with my horses driving out into the country, and seeing the scenery! Well, it is good we got in a good deal of travel as we went along." Among the other good things in the past he mentions the old school days with Tommy Harris back in Claremont, N. H.

Wood writes that his change of house number to 403 Pawtucket St., Lowell, Mass., is due not to a move by him but "a short street was tacked on the Pawtucket St. and that made it necessary to renumber the whole street, so we still have the garden and the river (and the boat?). Mrs. Wood and I are going on as usual. We are fairly well."

Again arthritis; Rose writes that it affects his finger so that he has difficulty in playing the piano and the accordion. Otherwise he and Mrs. Rose are fairly well. The Rev. Samuel will preach in his church again at Easter and meanwhile he has worked out a four months' program for the Men's Club with a different speaker for each Sunday morning. The program discusses the place of the churchman in a great number of vocations, industrial, political, and social. Rose says that he keenly enjoys the Dartmouth songs as they come to him on his Victrola, from "The Perfect Gift", which his daughter gave him for Christmas.
