AM – Letters from Louise & Mrs. Ellers.
P.M – in studio making drawings for 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” ad did not finish but we disagreed with her – a minor change, and it will be a good one –
