1968 Catherine's postcard -July 19


Connecticut River Valley Tobacco Farm postcard -mailed 1968
7/19/68
Hi!  I still have 11 miles to Springfield, but I think I'll make it!  I bought an egg & 2 pieces bread from Pratt's (they run hostel) for breakfast for 10¢.  I had to fix it myself though.  It cost a dollar for the night.  The house was built in 1750 and the swimming pool (1927) is fed by a brook.  I saw lots of the covered tobacco yesterday.  On the way to the Hostel I passed the Newgate Prison where they kept Tories and spies during the Revolution.  It is very overcast today.  Mark the map – Rt. 57 from Granville to Southwick (that's where I am now!)

Love, Catherine
