- Remington Rd. just beyond 69th and Market Sts
- Description
- View of bridge crossing rocky creek bordered by trees., Title from photographer's manuscript note on verso., Photographer's manuscript note on verso: A more romantic stretch of road than the Wissahickon Drive, but not as well kept. Deserted old houses, old bridge heads, huge rock outcroppings, a laughing stream that ever and anon in placid mood seems to whimsically borrod over the sun kissed ripples that have gone or the babble of playful turbulance [sic] to the fore. All these things greet the eye. Travelers do not jamb the road or paths and automobiles praise Heaven are few., Gift of Margaret Odewalt Sweeney., Retrospective conversion record: original entry, edited.

- Description
- View of spring flowing into another stream between rocks. Trees and bushes grow on banks., Photographer's manuscript note on verso: The wee tributary seem [sic] to spring from nowhere and plung [sic] into the main stream without fuss or confusion.

Irving wrote (in his "The Brook") "while I go on forever" so it is with life, not what we matearialistic [sic] call life. Ah! No. The spirit, that inner life. The infinite, that all enveloping [sic] life - forever, onward, into the glow of understanding, achieving, persuing [sic], enjoying, loving. In a word forever. A soul comes into being, a soul will forever be., Gift of Margaret Odewalt Sweeney., Retrospective conversion record: original entry, edited.
