Dover Community in the Path of Fires and War Tales
A long letter from Dover writer Myrick Subletté recounts a wartime transatlantic journey through England and Paris with vivid scenes at the Hippodrome docks and the Louvre. It also describes street life in Paris, Catholic cathedrals, and a cautious note on reporting to save paper, followed by local Dover notices of a fire threatening the school, a house blaze at the Holston residence with heavy loss, and a neighbor’s late inspection of a tenant fire caused by a defective flue.
