Dear Friends,
?
and I was ?
the most beautiful day I ever saw
?
James and Mason?
Parker Store
Groveland, Mass.
St. Cloud, FL was founded in 1911 as a retirement community for Civil War veterans, built on land from the Seminole Land Investment Company and a nearby sugar plantation. Today, the St. Cloud Heritage museum is housed in the former Veterans Memorial Library, designed by Orlando architects Ida Annah Ryan and Isabel Roberts in the Prairie Style.
I truly wish that James and Mason(?)'s friend had not had such shaky handwriting. My guess is that a recent stroke might have led to both her illegible writing style and the phrase "the most beautiful day I ever saw." Was her beautiful day a sunrise over Lake Toho? Shopping the post-Christmas sales in the business district? Satifaction over her preparations for a wild New Year's Eve bash?
