Miss Cenis was very glad to find I had to be provided with a Cunchea at so late an hour...having had as a resource since early morning only a pecan candy. That then came the climax of interesting happiness when she was told that the two [illegible] were at her disposal and for her to open...I have taken an excursion ticket which permits my presence until Jan 7th here. It will give me needed rest, as I feel worn out by the exertion of the shopping for trifles, but all for this beloved house..." With flattened folds, with small separations starting at folds. Lightly toned. Clear signature. All proceeds to benefit educational programs at The Bryan Museum.
