Kingston Courier: A large Jersey peach, with a letter securely hidden within the stone, was discovered here among a lot of fine peaches sent in from Rocky Hill. The letter is of a decidedly interesting nature, and, being found in the peach given by Caterer J. B. Renwick to A. W. J. Montgomery, a Princeton student, some little romance may result, as the finder of the epistle has expressed his intention of trying to discover who the maiden is that wrote the letter. The letter reads as follows: "This peach grew on my father's farm at Little Rocky Hill, His name is Mr. Jod Hunt, and my name is Miss Caroline Hunt. My address is Kingstown, N.J. Whoever eats this peach, please write to me and tell me how it tastes. I hope a nice looking man eats it, and I hope that he is single and that I may see him some day. August 20th, 1902."
