Dear Editors:
Enclosed you will find $3.00 for a year's subscription to “The Penna. Dutchman”. I am much interested in this phase of Penna. life as I have been painting pictures trying to depict these quaint people. I have two pictures showing the “Love Feast” which I visited on a trip to Franklin Co. Here was where I was born and reared. I am enclosing a cut of one picture and a clipping from my scrap book.
Just by chance, I happened to see “The Pa. Dutchman” today. I was hunting material for my daughter who is at Penn State. She plans to write a term paper on The Pa. Dutch; so a friend, Edna Lehman, gave me a pack of the papers which I have been reading all afternoon, hence the subscription.
My husband is a graduate of F. and M. class of '27. I will be looking forward to the future copies of “The Pa. Dutchman”.
Yours truly,
Mrs. Frank M. Thornton
