Message: "This is the (?) when all the wanderers come back to their old home and it is very interesting to see how folks in this part of the country "do things". At the Swanzy picnic is a boys camp from Hartford Conn. of the Y.M.C.A. and they take their views(?) to help pay expenses. This is the home of Denman Thompson of the "Old Homestead" who made all his money in two plays and has done such a great deal for his old homestead and town.
