I haven't yet got financial matters straightened up and I have had to order more alcohol, shellac and powder.  I need $500 more but hope you will be here soon.  I am anxious to have you see with your own eyes "just  how things is"

had a lovely spring.  It rained   all night last night and continued nearly through the day but the sun comes out   at intervals.



Well I must close and go and pitch a tehn for you as I am expecting you almost any minute now.  If you come here for awhile you won't want to go back to Pittsburgh.  I'll be   if I'd   go back if it wasn't for that splendid museum library and 



Yours as ever
