From
Charles Edward Beals,
Helen Drake Beals, A Father's Tribute,
1915.
"Best of
all, she loved the little summer home at Passaconaway, N. H., nestling
cozily among the White Mountains.
"(Helen mentioned the town of Passaconaway in her letters. In some she
mentions the little mountain cottage, 'Score-o'-Peaks.' In the following
she refers to a balsam pillow):
"The fragrance is just right now. Whenever I feel despondent, tired or
discouraged, I throw myself down upon my couch and bury my face in the
pillow until I seem to be surrounded by the firs of Passaconaway. Then I
feel rested, happy and glad." (Letter to father and mother,
Sunday, Feb. 16, 1913).
From Mrs.
F. E. Holland, of Providence, R. I., a neighbor at Passaconaway, N. H.)

... among the most inspiring and helpful memories will be that last
time at Passaconaway, when she was starting back to the hospital, calm,
courageous and only thoughtful of others. It was wonderful."
(From Mrs.
Arthur P. [Una A.] Hunt, of New York, a summer neighbor at Passaconaway,
N. H.)
(From
Mrs. Eliza G. Radeke, of Providence, R. I., a neighbor in the White
Mountains).

Lillian G. Povall, a neighbor at Passaconaway, N. H.)
