It references L. A. Fairbrother, Ingersoll, Anthony Adverse, and local figures like Sabula and Osborne families, with light social commentary and anecdotes.
The writer, leaving Chadwick after five years, thanks the Commer fell club for a Gladstone hag and friends for a lifetime desk set. He cherishes memories of Chadwick and its friendly, Christian community, calling it the best village in Carroll County. He hopes to return for a weekend from Harvard, if possible.
