A Forest Fire

Letter from J.G. Averell to Emily Sibley Watson, May 26, 1895<br />

5/26/1895 letter

J.G. describes the drought, and a small forest fire that "burned a good deal of timber between the school and the Pond," saying that "It was really quite exciting driving through the smoke, but the road through the wood stopped the fire and no very great damage was done."
