so soon – umbrella – [?] [?] – cherish
[me?]. Prof. [Macanter?] came here yesterday
+ he + his wife were here last eve.

Please don't forget to give us a [repeat?]
of Mrs. [?]'s paintings. Mimi + I
began the [?]'s [Cafe?] Lily you got
us – on a large scale as we wasted it
all – but [?] had – we came to the
conclusion that water colors weren't very
pretty – + so put it aside. + on the
fourth – [painted?] a simple lily in oil
which is beautiful – also painted on
another card – the stem + leaves – so
we might share how the lily greens.

The boys are good + send love to
papa. Mimi + Na-na send regards
[sic.?]. The map you sent gave me a good
idea of the lily.

Lovingly your wife,
L. A. Bessey
