CONGRESSIO LEATA

Being released from burdens and free once again to travel, Ada and I left the Berry Patch late one spring morning and drove to a small town in southern New Hampshire, where, at the top of a hill, in a fork of the road, in a little grove of sugar maples already tapped, we found a little red schoolhouse, built in 1866 —the retirement home of the illustrious classicist Frederic M. Wheelock and his wife, Dorothy.
