Dear daughter Alice:
1t makes me feel twenty again when l
think of my girl having promotion and a
raise in salary in a great city like Chicago.
But | shall have to scold you too; why did
you send that draft for eight dollars and
tell me to go to The Bisbee Studio and
have my picture taken2 You worked hard
for that money and don't need picture
anyway.
When | was in the studio today, saw an
elegant picture of a girl about your age
She has big, gray eyes, too, and her hair is
parted like yours, and nearly the same little,
wavy wisps never in place-too much like
yours, Pm afraid, for it made me homesck
to see you.
You know, Alice, could never deny you
anything that l thought would really help
you or make you truly happy. Perhaps l
should sit for my portrait, after all; do you
still insist?
