Dear Editor:

In the Oct. 27, 2022 Boothbay Register, I ran a historical article on Matilda Hatchard, a late 1800s-early 1900s resident of what is now Ocean Point. The article consisted of a detailed description of her clothes, stance, and visible parts of her threshold. However, the accompanying photo of her did not get in that issue. For those who’d like to see the photo, go to the newspaper’s website to view the image or stop in at the historical society (633-0820) at 72 Oak Street. We’re open Thursday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
