First Katydid Noted as Signs of Spring
A fragment notes the first katydid heard last night and mentions a weather cue about frost six weeks after the insect’s appearance. The passage then drifts to garbled names and a misread medical claim about a remedy sold in Newark New Jersey, claiming safety for coughs and colds.
Advertised Letters and Notices from July 4 1900
A fragment lists names of people with advertised letters awaiting pickup at the post office on Saturday July 4 1900. Instructions say recipients must call for the letters within two weeks or they will be sent to the dead letter office. The text also includes scattered, erroneous notes about geological prospects in Garrett County and assorted advertisements for Allen's Foot-Ease and other products, with garbled phrases and non-coherent insertions.
