Framingham vs State House

All day yesterday & long into the evening
the snow fell in abundance mounting higher &
higher by the seconds. Radio Broadcast gave
out mornings of the Highway being in terrible
condition, all possible not to venture out
The date of this is Monday March 13th 1950

As I laid in my hospital bed thismorning
watching the rising sun come over the hills
in the distance, what a beautiful picture it
made - Its glow shone on every window into
every room of the Womens Reformatory at Framingham

On my windowsill is a small blanket of snow
the sun is shining fondly upon us - Reflecting
its brilliance on the hugs blanket of snow that
surrounds this dust - Which I call the "Village
all our own" - As far as the human eye can see
little diamonds sparlking from window sill to
the roads beyond the Sun is Warm, its glow
surrounding the whole Dust - Is friendly - Kindness
dwells in each room from the warmth of Almighty
God in Heaven gift to all - the Sun - To me today as
I write these words it is 6.30AM on March 14 - 195-

The Rising of Sun encasing the Dust in its
brilliance beaty stands for a Symbol to me - It
could not stay hidden in the clouds on a day like today
May its warm Friendly manner reach the
hearts of those folks who are going to fill
Gardner Auditorium in the State House in Boston Mass
& let them not look at us Women as Criminals but Human
bengs who are paying there debt to justice
