"The butcher comes four times a week and the ice man three times and in ten days we are to have fresh milk every day, so no one can rough it at Narcoosee any longer.

Bill put them up at once and we are left in peace tonight..." - Excerpt from a Letter, Helen F. Warner to her Mother dated August 27, 1885, Orlando
