Dear Editor:— We aro now located in a very re­ mote section o f Virginia, twenty miles' from Williamsburg, Va. We found a little swimming pool about 40x100, fed by an artesian well, so it is refreshing for the this weather. It is 8:25 p. m. and the boys are being served their supper in their bathing suits in between swims. We visited the Curley Meek farm in Virginia, It consists o f 5,000 acres We covered the farm by auto and the boys found such a sized farm ijnter- esting. The boys have been enjoying them­ selves very much since leaving Cedar­ ville. August 8 we reached Clarks burg, W. Va. at 9:30 p. m. and ate supper there. Then pitched tents at Green Parrot Camp a few miles east of Clarksburg. It being the first night out the first boy woke up at 4:30 a. m.. A t 5:30 we were on our road to Washington, D. C. We arrived there at 2:30 p. m. August 9.. We, went directly to see Congress in action. We observed the Senate in session but the House had adjourned before we arrived. We pitched camp at 5:30 p. m. in Wash­ ington’s well equipped tourist camp. Here we remained until Monday a. m. | We wei-e quite • fortunate while in vWashington in seeing f the desired ■— -----_________ _____■•:■■„:___ .. persons and places.
