leading to it - There were [fully?] 2,000 present. The

everything - well it was something to remember - though
I came away hungry, thirsty - for a drink of just
plain cold water
! The last session of
the Congress was splendid - The big hall was full & an
overflow meeting was held - I did not go - I had

reception - Today Miss [Hass?] is to present in the [Auditorium?]
