Letters exchanged between Maude Howdershell and Milton Kerrick. On May 4, 1914, Maude waxes on about the change of seasons and of "Maying" in the woods to gather violets, dogwood blossoms, and wild honeysuckle. On June 1, she writes that her mother is in bed with a sprained ankle and describes how a lightning strike killed a cow that was like a pet. Milton invites her to join him, Beverly, and Lucile, and him on a moonlight ride.
