Dear Beatrice:

I received a lovely letter from father altho he took exceptions to my writing the way I did to you. I have written him that I am very sorry he felt that way and if I have misstated facts I beg his pardon. I explained that my father's wills which I still have led me to feel as I do, besides I felt an explaintation [[explanation]] was necessary believing that you knew nothing of the agreement and that you would wonder why I sent money to you.

Father wrote that he was going to advise you to return the money for which I thanked him very much stating that it was a big thing for him to do for me feeling as he did that I was wrong in writing to you. I also said that you may get it sometime and that I hoped it would be during my lifetime that I would be so situated that I would give you five thousand dollars without missing it. I do thank you dear for writing to father in my behalf.

I am glad you liked the flowers I sent you. I have been making them by the dozens for some of the large stores here and if the fad keeps up I will make quite a sum of money, I already have made about one hundred and thirty dollars since I [[crossed out]] staredd [[/crossed out]] started. It thrills me to get these orders for it is th the first time in my life that I ever made a dollar for myself. Once in a while I make a hat or two for the store but they can buy them so cheap it is better to buy them.

We took Corny and the baby out for a ride Sunday, Jeff was working he certainly is working hard and the firm seem to like him. The baby is beautiful and so good I can see you in him when you were his age. Corny makes a lovely mother as well as a lovely wife. She is a very good cook, too, having had dinner with her a few weeks ago.

Have you had your camping trip yet? I think it lovely to camp altho I have never tried it. I have had the desire but never attempted it. I hope you are not feeling the heat. The papers are full of the extreme heat, out here we are enjoying such cool lovely weather. With lots of love to you and again thanking you for what you have done for me,

I remain loving,
Aunt Carolyn
