Dear Grandpa.
I am us here with grandma. Daddy brought me up yesterday. Yesterday was the big day of my life. I got to visit Carl Rawson's Art Exhibit at Hart Sheyman space. I got to talk to hime about 1 1/2 or 2 hr. He talked again at an informal tea a Cummings Art school yesterday evening until about 11 o'clock. About 20 people were there, almost all artists, about 6 students were there. If all artists are like the ones here I like them. They just seem like one big family. They make your feel right at home and talk with you like old friends. Grandma went with me. It is Sunday & we are going down to the Bus station immediately. Goodby, Love - Ruth.
