I have already received the frame for the blue girl and it is going to look well. I am working (thinking) much of the about it. Each day I feel it is finished then the next I paint it over &c. But tonight it is really in an admirable state - Have only to finish the doll. The frame is really beautiful is Venetian in type. I start tonight in an evening school. Try it for a month. I feel that I have very nearly painted a good thing. Shall try to beat the little girl next time. It is growing dark. I am kind of hungry and with love to all close this composition. Yours.
