First Letter

Falls Village.
July 1st, 1930.

Dear Mrs. Keep,

Your 5 Pictures are here, and I find your sound and able work, good in Color and Drawing. It will take me a few days to study these, as You seek(?) some advice, which You thus can consider.

I personally find that a Painter is always his worst Critic; but have now and again found good advice, that I have (?) , more of less.

I will try hard to help you, your work is worth my very best effort.

Sincerely,

Emil Carlsen
