Ice and holidays amid small town chatter in Iowa
A lively Iowa fragment notes an ice harvest underway near Digin and a holiday pause with Prof and Mrs Moore at Masonville. It mentions local dances, bank deposits gains, counterfeit concerns, a New Hampton husker feat, and community updates from Clermont to Fayette, including postal rules for Germany and a plan for college accounting courses.
