Curtis Williams Writes From New England

Curtis Williams of Los Angeles writes that he recently completed a wonderful cruise along the coast of Maine. In his letter, he enclosed a clipping from the ,,Boston post" regarding the wearability of more than a half dozen white pine hand-wrought shingles recently removed from a church steeple in Dedham, Mass. According to M. J. Rogers, carpenter, who is now repairing the steeple, the shingles may be 119 years old as there was no evidence when the shingles were removed that any others had been used since the church was built in 1814.

Mr. Williams, accompanied by Mrs. Williams, left Los Angeles the early part of July for a several weeks sojourn in New York and New England.
