In part, 'It has been one of the busiest summers that I have ever seened [sic] in my 82 years. To start with, Mrs. Ola Story came here last April and bought several paintings, and ordered a lot more. So I've been painting all summer, have painted 66 since the first of May. Of course Mrs. Story did not get all of these, they have gone all over...I'd like to see you get something out of all of those pictures that you have bought.' In fine condition, with expected folds.
