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.

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. O, that we could enter and flow along with the stream of life with the quietude and complacency of this wee brook. Why the battle? Why the strife? Why the doubt? Why the fear? 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.
