Have I hope been helping friends a little by a series of readings illustrated by the photographs of engravings collected abroad and the way we left home sent off the last pages of a translation of Charles Blanc’s Grammar of Painting & Engraving that I hope some dark night next Winter when you cant get out of your cabin you will like to run through.

Give our love to dear Mrs. Hutchings. With pleasantest memories of you truly your friend Kate N. Daggett. [1] Hot Springs.
