    Autograph letter signed. Expresses appreciation for Nell’s extended visit with them. Says how sorry they are that Nell got sick while she was with them and again as she left. Tells how glad they are that she is better now. Says how sad they all were on the way home from the station and Robbie was trying not to cry. Susan [Barbara’s daughter] asked him, “What are you suffering so for, Robbie?” and they all laughed. Says the pictures of Robbie were beautiful and so were the pictures of Pa [Mayo’s dad]. They inspired Mayo to take up photography again and they bought some supplies. Says Robbie is to be on cub’s [?] show and the subject is chemical magic. Robbie is very excited. Reports how much Susan talks about her and that they all miss her.
