Dear Miss Corder -
I want to thank you for your kind endurance - but will do this best my finishing the picture[3] troublesome as it still may be - After all the work is complete and an hour or two longer or less will entirely end the matter - I am charmed myself and one of these days you will forgive me -
[p. 2] Perhaps if you were to come tomorrow at about 3. or half past -
Or if I do hope you are not too worn out -
Ever Yours
