Dear Norrece:

Thank you for your letter of July 29 and the accompanying bro-
chure which comments on the depth of your collection. I am pleased
to be included in it. I am terribly sorry to hear of the accident
you had with the frame on "Bahia Ribbons" but pleased to know that
the work was not damaged.

I am hastening to get this note out to you as Thelma and I
would be delighted to have you and Betty come out to visit with
us. Will you be here overnight or going on the boat from Port-
land?. Do let us know. We took the boat to Nova Scotia the
first year it started going from here and should go back some time
in the near future.

Falmouth is only four miles from Portland. We could come
for you and have lobster here at the house. Does that sound
like a winner?

Thanks for the information on the painting. I have not kept
the very best records on my own work so this helps a great deal.
My number here is (207) 781 2655. You may call me or drop a line
in the mail as we have time to hear from you. My best to Betty
and we look forward to seeing you. Thanks for the payment.
