Mrs. John Fletcher
Bandon Plantation
Edenton, North Carolina
Dear Mrs. Fletcher:
I was sorry you and John were not at the Masonic meeting in Edenton the other night. I missed you.
The name of the costumer who furnished our costumes is Van Horn & Son, Costumer, Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa.
Again we thank you for helping make our pageant a success and I got a big kick out of Bill Sharpe's article about you saying
"What the bell needs is a Bath".
I was interested in the picture of Bandon that you sent. I suppose the reason the blind was not open over the porch was that
John was taking a nap.
Sincerely,
[Signature] Edmund H. Harding Jr
