Forest Inn, 1913
On July 29, 1913, Walter writes to his mother, “I arrived safely at noon today and have had enough traveling to last a month at least. Classes don’t start until tomorrow or next day. It certainly is a beautiful place. Lake George is the prettiest thing I have ever seen. Will have to confess tho’ that I am homesick to see you.” And he adds, “My room is in this building.”
