Why They Come to New England — Jul. 1892

[1] We come to New England because we find that the health of our family is much better during the rest of the year after our stay at Marion. Besides, my husband thinks the fishing here is unsurpassed and he delights in the natural beauties round-about. 

The town is full of pleasant memories, past and present, and her citizens are the most charming and interesting I ever have met.
