Handwritten letter from Ruth Beebe in Renovo, PA, to John Pitcairn, Jr. Seal with the image of a grapevine pressed into the top left corner. R Beebe thanks J Pitcairn for the box of paints and roll of canvas he sent for her to paint pictures for his mother. She intended to paint the pictures to show her appreciation for J Pitcairn’s many favors, including the delightful trip he gave her and her friends through the oil region, and now she does not know how she will ever repay his many kindnesses. She asks him to write to her with information about the natural light and preferred size of the canvasses once his parents have decided where they will hang them. If J Pitcairn has an engraving of Scotch scenery that he thinks his mother would like a copy of, she would be very happy to paint it as well.
