. . .We are just about to entertain the Teachers Convention & do not yet know how many are

to honor us but the chickens have suffered & the ham is boiling so we shall have something

ready for them. . . .The Gen’l too is quite unwell, the rest of us much as usual & all send a

vast amount of love to you & all at Avenel. I have been painting away & hope now to have

another $100 to invest. I felt worried since you left for fear you should not sell those pictures &

have them on your hands after paying me for them.You must send them back if you do not sell

them. . . .Tell Mrs. M. her recipe for Muffins has succeeded admirably & been much appreciated

but it really is now almost too hot to eat anything but ice cream. . . .”
