Dear one: I am glad to hear from thy today's letter that thee "flu" cases are getting all right. Here in town as thee doubtless has seen there is a good deal. It affects thee attendance at the school very materially but I hope will not be as serious as last year - the weather has been attrocious and of just the sort to develop & spread the disease. Thank goodness it is growing colder today. I was glad I have Nancy's letter in addition to one which I received direct - via Fred's apartment.

[margin] It is late & I must get to bed - so I will have to stop this humid scrap - thine Milton

She is going through the growing pains but will come out all right I am sure The rearranged parlor must be a joy to thee. The room I am sure can be made most attractive and all the changes thee has made are in the right direction A letter today from the Corcoran expressed a desire to have my war sketches as soon as their exhibition dates would permit but that they could not show them before Mar. 1^st and suggested that for showing in the cases they had for the purpose that a much larger proportion of uprights would be desirable. Whether I have enough of those that I would want to show is a question but think it can be managed. Thee sees the cases are of such a size that the "horizontal" drawings dont hang to advantage. There will be just two dozen of the large drawings but I think I can fix things up so as to make a good showing.

Mrs Milton Bancroft Sandy Spring Montgomery Co Maryland.
