In this letter, Oliver Johnson asks which of the first of the August picnics will Maria Weston Chapman attend. Johnson wants an account of all the picnics for the Tribune and requests the help of Maria W. Chapman or her sisters. He suggests that she write a brief letter giving a "condensed view of general interest" of the picnic. Mrs. Johnson is taking a water cure in New Lebanon.
