Such a contrast in Olde New Ipswich. Where, after being taken on an antique stagecoach ride, one could restore the nerves through a stay at Homestead Inn, soothed by croaking of frogs and chirping of crickets. But, after being taken for another type of ride, one could restore the hair by application of caustic quicklime and ammonia, burning the scalp and likely any hope of regrowth. .
It's too bad we longer have the Homestead Inn, every town should have one. It existed 30 years too early for my grandmother who left Nashua with her 10 yr old daughter and came to New Ipswich to be a maid and caretaker for an older man who had diabetes and no immediate family. I have a copy of her contract: $5/wk plus food and lodging for her and her daughter. My grandmother inherited his house and that's where I grew up.
Do you know who wrote that article about the Homestead Inn? Very great writing. And I wonder if we would know any of the "well known women" as they are described?

Wait till you read of the Paregoric Elixir tomorrow.

Should be "famous women".
