Sept. 9. Wed.
Braasches visit –
Came in the A.M. – about 10:15 and stayed until 12:15, then back again at 1:30 + stayed until 4:00. A visit we thoroughly enjoyed – Their enthusiasm for and understanding of my work very stimulating – They decided on buying the “Autumnal Fantasy,” (after viewing the Blizzard, the Two Ravines + others). Dr. B was overwhelmed by Sultry Moon and wished he could purchase it also (I recently decided to hold it for awhile for him). Evening to Creans.
