Nearby notes recount a rattlesnake incident in Houston county and Captain Webb’s Channel swim, plus Groton Mass town hall gifted by Dr. J C Ayer in lasting brick and marble splendor.

Tilton’s Private Reply On Daily Life And Work
The letter from PHRODORE TILTON dated August 22 outlines a daily routine: rise at 6, coffee and bread, feed sparrows, five hours at the writing desk, noon meal, and afternoon activities with Florence or study. He notes summer evenings with Florence at the piano, his daughter’s influence, and resuming old studies, with a hint of intrusion from a small child.
