We literally followed up the Saco river, tracing it to it's source, a little pond close by the hotel in the notch at the very base of the mountain range the highest summit of which is Mt Washington. We rode through a little green valley well cultivated & thickly settled with farms with high mountains on each side sometimes sheeting down close to to the narrow & level valley, sometimes gracefully sweeping away to a distance the [up the side]How I wish I could see you all this morning; tell Percy Aunt Anna wants to see him Much love to all the dear ones at Bangor I mean to write to Mallie soon but I do find so much to do . the children's wardrobe generally require attention.
