Inscription: "6-7-47 Dear Gladys, Many real thanks for the good lunch, both set out at home and packed to take with me. It served us until breakfast this morning. It rains a little but, in my rain coat and hat I walke[d] around the upper lake. I write now quietly in this beautiful new chapel. The bldg. in this picture is new to me. M.R.W."
