Elmira, Aug. 12/81.
My Dear Howells—
Say—I am going to Ashfield, Mass. Aug 25th. Tell me—what does a body have to do there? Talk? And if so, who are the audience? 1. Is t it a school? 2. If so, is it male, or female, or both? 3. Boys & girls?, or bigger bucks & fillies?
Are you going?
In a hurry,
Yrs Ever
Mark.
