User-Contributed Transcription 5 Mrs. May Walden 420 West Bell Street, Box 853 Avon Park, Fla. think of Lorado Taft's group at the Art Institute "The Solitude of the Soul". I surely know what mental solitude means. Only hope my eye sight holds out! I shall look forward to seeing the snaps of the children pony-backing. So glad you have cherries this year! Mrs. Lucy was over the other day - she comes quite often - shortly after your letter reached her. I wondered that she didn't mention it, so I remarked about it. She thought a minute saying anything, then "oh, what is your daughter's name?" I told her, then she said "I wondered who that letter was from. I couldn't think of any of the soldier's families by that name, etc etc". She is all het up about the rent business and Enjoyed your lovely letter so much with the news of all of you.
