The Danvers Historical Society 



nas in contemplation 



the preservation of the Col. Jeremiah Page ncuse on Danvers Square, for

 Historical purposes, it is to be torn down, according to court decree.

 cost of moving tne house and restoring it is estimated to be about

 the work, but it has faith not only in Its own members but in tne gen-

If you think of any other of Miss Page's friends who 

 would be at all interested, will you kindly pass th e word along? 



As one of Miss Page's old friends, we wonder if you 



Very truly yours,
