A Skating Exhibition

Letter from James G. Averell to Emily Sibley Watson, December 15, 1895

1895-12-15

Although generally quite athletic, there were sports J.G. wasn't good at.  In this letter, J.G. announces that "I am going to make another attempt to learn how to skate, for I have had the good luck to find another unfortunate who can’t, and wants to try, so we are going to give an exhibition in the near future and charge ten cents admission."
