Lillian McConnell was a life-long friend through letters. Her last was, I think, in 1951. They were filled with appreciation of nature, observation and amusing comments. In about the last letter she wrote she was explafying the difference between the North and the South. She wrote: "In boarding a train up north the man at the steps says:--"Step lively, step lively," and fairly pushes you up. Down South the man says: "Take yer time, take yer time."
