Description / Abstract:

Recto: A-299. 'The Old North State' Here's to the land where the galax grows, Where the rhododendron roseate glows; Where soars Mount Mitchell's summitt great, in the Land of the Sky, in the Old North State. Here's to the land of the cotton blooms white, Where the scuppernong perfumes the breeze at night. Where soft Southern moss and jessamine mate, 'Near the murmering pines of the Old North State. Here's to the land where maiden's are fairest, Where friends are the truest, and cold hearts are rarest; The near land, the dear land, whatever our fate, The blest land, the best land, the Old North State. Here's to the land of the Long Leaf Pine, The Summer Land, where the sun doth shine, Where the weak grow strong, and the strong grow great- Here's to Down Home, the Old North State.

We left home at 8 P.M. and arrived at 5 a.m. with no trouble just cool breezes. It's not today though. Pastor Schulze is here. Bisey attending a meeting. We will certainly have one grand time. David and Ruth hardly know what to do on so much space. The entire campus is for them it seems. Others coming later. Love Bisey, Clarehen, Ruth & David.
