Anna Shinn Maier. Harriton, PA. 1938 4/28 [“Today I sprouted wings for at last I managed to get in to the Presbyterian Home to see father’s protégé, Miss Horme, -- a most cheerful and thankful person, but the trip was rather strenuous and depressing as I had to see everything in the large restitution including a “lay out” in the Chapel as an inmate was to be buried in a short time – one of the diversions in the House I judged and taken quite in their stride.”]

Anna Shinn Maier. Harriton, PA. 1938 5/24 [“Then to Friends House which reminds me George said Cousin Mary went to Yearly M. pretty regularly and no one even said “boo” to her – thee can thus imagine the Vaux feelings as to English Yearly Meeting. Perhaps we are not the only un-cordial Friends. George said he began by going to meeting but no one paid the slightest attention to him so he stopped!”]
