very cold in Paris lately; and the reading room is crowded, the boys not being able to run their stoves hard enough to keep warm. Last Thursday I called on Comins you remember him. He studied in Boston with me. He is not very far along altho' he draws well. I read the "Eternal City" [[strikethrough]] by [[/strikethrough]] and the "Adventures of [[Francions?]]" last week. Played three games of chess and much checkers. They moved some of the books aside and now a new piano is being thumped to death. May and Homers picture is not as finished as when Robert saw it and I shall not finish until June when the sun returns to the right angle - After it is finished, say June 15th I shall prepare to sail for home. Dear mother I not only wish to get into the Salon but I want to deserve a mention. I even dream pictures now, and am happy all the time With love to all William over
