AM- Letters from Louise & Mrs. Ellers.
P.M- in studio making drawings on the new portion of “Cicada Woods”- it begins to grow in interest & power- I am getting excited about it.
Evening- Mart & Hank, Peggy & David in for a visit- Mart brought along two of her recent water-colors- both very good- one showing a new trend in her subject matter the other one she had thought “hopeless” and did not finish but we disagreed with her- a minor charge, and it will be a good one-
