Rey writes to Phyllis and Bill. In part: “This [with arrow pointing to address] is the reason you didn’t find us home—it’s the place we’ve spent our summers since 1952—but that doesn’t make me feel less terrible for having missed seeing you. I say ‘I’ because Margret is at the moment taking a three weeks pottery course at the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, on Deer Isle, Maine….” In very good condition, with creases (one to first letter of signature), wrinkles, and light handling wear. R&R COA.
