Twenty months of foreign travel
Linn Boyd Porter, the Cambridge novelist, has returned after twenty months abroad encircling the globe by land and sea. He traveled with time for observation and recreation, meeting his family in Paris for the exposition, then returning to Cambridge rested and well. He plans to stay home long, perhaps seeking warmer winters if needed. Reverend Dr. Bicknell spoke at Bath Maine on August 9, a compliment to a local boy, while Makepeace of New York will preach again August 26.
