ASTICOU INN NORTHEAST HARBOR MAINE
Mrs. Richard Shannon 7805 19th Drive Jackson Heights Long Island New York.
NORTHEAST HARBOR MAINE AUG 2 1943
ASTICOU INN NORTHEAST HARBOR MAINE Sunday Darling Margaret;

We have been here three weeks—lovely place—we have a cottage of our own—two large rooms and bath. Also a lovely garden—all our own. The guests are all charming New England people, intelligent and good manners. In spite of all this I am bored to death and we start for Grand Manan on Tuesday—by the roughest and hardest way, too! Long train ride to Calais, then arrive St. Stephen in the middle of the night—then boa wait there two days and finally board the Grand Manan IIASTICOU INN NORTHEAST HARBOR MAINE at six oclock in the morning!

I wish we were going to find the happy little nieces I found there long ago when we get there. Then it would be worth a hard trip!

Lovingly Your Aunt Willie
