Spent the day reddingup the studio and getting some pictures ready to show the Murry’s (of Orchard Park) – who had called up last night.
Evening – visit of the Murry’s – They were enthusiastic, and they finally settled on “Country Road in Spring” and “Midmorning in August” – However, when I told them the prices, it was evident that they were shocked, altho they never “let on” – they left saying them could not decide between the two, and that they would let me know”
