Additional information accompanying item: "Lines to an Urban Friend" by Margaret Munsterberg, 1956. "Yes, I too like the city, But now and then leave it behind me. For it would seem a pity If nothing should remind me Of how little ferns spring from the moss, The sudden-rustling winds the acorns toss, How berries turn from red to shining jet, Or how the quivering dragon-fly alights On dewy asters from her flashing flights. - Not yet, not yet, would I forget The woodland's sounds & scents, & sights."

Notes (historical):: Reverend Cutler was rector at St. John’s Church from 1924 to 1959 and most likely assembled this collection during that time.
