Dear Pearl, Arrived home safe  made fine connections for Dk.  
Got off the train & went right on the train for Dk.(Dunkirk)  
Didn't have to wait at all.  Got home at 2:30pm.  
Yours in love- ans. soon-- Vivian

My dear roomy,  What a nice snowy a.m.! The trees are just covered.  
I thought about you between nine and ten Wed. night.  
Doesn't it seem wonderful to be at home?  Had a wonderful time Thanksgiving day 
but of course I couldn't resist being popular and at present.  
Roomy, I'm laid up with Betty's trouble - 
reason why I'm not writing more extensively.  
It just hurts so to swallow  I'd almost rather go hungry than to eat. 
 For this reason I didn't have my hair shampooed yesterday 
and may have to wait until after we return.   
Thurs. night when our phone rang I said to my folks, "I'll bet that's Uncle Albert"  
and sure enough it was.  Called us up from Nashua, N.H.  
Since you're studying Psychology maybe you can account for it.  
The lines are all out of commission this a.m.   Mother was settled more 
than I expected but there are still many little things to be done.  
See you Tues. noon if nothing happens     Love, M.E.B.  

Yvonne wanted Dot's & V's address - her now so D's = 104 Forest Ave,  
V's 182 Washington St.   Hudson, (Mass?)   Will you give them to her?   
Pearl's friend Eleanor sure seemed to have
 a zest for life. She loved the water! Lake or ocean....
Hello Pearl,  I'm writing this at Rockaway  
Just got out of the ocean  gee it's great  
Having the time of my life  By-Bye   Eleanor

Prayer Rally Days in the early 1900's



Prayer rallies are still present today...especially in the south...
looks like "God Squads" were just as busy over 100 years ago...
All Good Wishes for a Joyous Birthday
A simple greeting on a card, 
But still let it impart,  
The earnest wish, the deep regard, 
That lives within my heart.

"Search the Scriptures"    I wish you could meet with the women
 in the church the first Friday of each month 3 P.M.

This is a special invitation to you to be present 
at the Rally Day Services on Oct. 6, 1912.  
We want this day to mark the renewal of our devotion 
to the very important work we are together 
trying to do in the Master's Name. 
 Because of your interest we feel sure that you will come.  
Bring someone with you.  
Cordially yours,  Elizabeth Glaser

Dear Pearl,
