The letter from Ayre and Evans is amusing. I think the villa  with a hundred rooms would just suit us don't you? Mr. Cannell wrote me also.

I just had a letter from Elsie and Wayne and they are coming over by motor from Chicago to see me.

Aug.12

Just received your letter saying you have sold your picture at the Lyme show - Three cheers! Congratulations - That's great!

So glad you saw the five passenger car and liked it - That's the one I like best for us - I'll talk with Mr.H-  when he comes home tonight. Perhaps I could ride up from New York and stop at Oyster Bay for a few minutes as they want me to come - or may be it would be more fun to motor over from Lyme. Then you could go and help advise about the putting up of the fountains.

My work looks pretty good to me tonight, so I feel I can take it a little easier now.  I can begin to see the end at least of the tents- and they were the worst.
