I have never worked before in the business worked, but I find it delightful interesting. I have made many lovely friends and talk to about a hundred people daily and I love people. [cut off] my work immensely. We have [cut off] Mr. Burbank; I am delighted with the lovely picture you have sent to me. The work is exquisite and perfect. You are a real honest-to-goodness artist. and there are few souls who have been blessed with your marvellous talent. You were sweet & dear to remember me in such a lovely way. I shall frame & hang the picture where every day it will inspire me, and help me to remember the greatness in the heart of Lincoln, how precious is the memory of your friendship thru the years. I have a very nice & dear husband & we are perfectly happy. We are doing a great business here - have made $36,000 this year, & that is a lot of money for us - as we've never had that much before. I keep the office here at the [Glorietta work] - make all the Rentals - keep books & cash drawer straight???? The best I can.
