Item 97123 info
Cary Memorial Library in Wayne
Cary's mother died when she was eight years old and the family left Wayne at that time.
Still, Annie Louise visited Wayne throughout her life, and retained close ties with the town librarian, Jane Thorne Johnson, frequently sending books to the library.
In a letter written in January of 1907 from Norwalk, Connecticut, where she lived during the winter, Annie Louise wrote, "My dear young friends – Your letter of January first has given me great satisfaction and I am pleased that you enjoy the books which I from time to time have sent for the younger population of that beautiful village of Wayne."
The letter was signed Annie Louise Raymond.
