Transcription Notes:
[[first transcriber's summary: Florence M. Bailey is describing wood, hemlock wood that is sixty-one years old. Describing it as diced and brown, floating like needles carefully down a steam in a swamp. Grouped together like families. It was her dream to see the noble evergreen forests. She wanted to travel through the forests on foot, but find places to watch and appreciate natures beauty. As she observes the swamp, she descibes a messy layer of berries over the top of the swamp. Overall I think she was describing what she was witnessing, as well as daydreaming on what she would like to be doing in the future. ] NOTE, this page is a duplicate of the bottom part of the previous page where it appears to be pasted onto the top section.
