Over 30 miles were formed with this & from nearby and the lumber jacks were swarming the place & when they came out of the woods in the spring - the whores were swarming the place to get their gold out of them - It is extremely handsome as a city - simply buried in huge overhanging elms - and this street Broadway - is the de luxe street of the town - four rows of elms down it - and as for mansions - c/u. never saw anything like them: one mansion - surely 40 rooms - double - doubtless built half for the parents and half for the children - such as Waldo Peirce but he is the offspring of the great traditions here. & the name Peirce here is well at least legion - a not at all bad huge monument of lumber-jacks in bronze in action with their lumber tools - posed high in a block of granite - given by W's uncle. Luther Peirce who also gave a lot of money to this superb library in which I spend so much time - wonderful really. The towns people so amiable & so good loving -
