Summary
Thanking him for a portrait of Henley's daughter, Margaret; saying "We have been out of town ever since we saw you and only got the pretty lady's portrait on our return last Saturday - Thank you so much for it. Jimmie is quite in love with her, and says you must bring her with you the next time you come that he may immortalize her wonderful curls. Please give our love to her, and tell her we are looking forward to making her acquaintance. I am glad the coffee pot is a success. With our kindest regards to you and Mrs. Henley."
