coming to see us. I don't believe you full appreciated the sincerity of

However, the invitation holds good up to the time you both shall marry

October 8, 1926. Letter from Charlotte L. Yale
to Fred Seely. "Our thoughts have gone out to you and Mrs. Seely
during these anxious weeks and we are wondering if Mrs. Seely is
gaining by now. We sincerely hope so and wish we could think of
something to do....
Your door is coming along splendidly and we believe that
you will be pleased. The firest panel is so out of perspective, that we
cannot bring it into line with the others. Our idea of the best thing to
do, is to take it out altogether. We think we can do this by doweling it
so that it will never show. ...Mr. Mazzinovich [Lawrence
Mazzanovich], whom you probably know,
is a noted Artist here. He has just returned from a summer North and
called last evening. Of course, we showed him the Door. He is most
enthusiastic over our success with it, says the relationship of the
figures is perfect and the Landscapes well done. He especially
understand Landscapes so we are much pleased to have such a critic so
enthusiastic... Frank Arthur has done every bit of it, but never having
done anything like it before, Miss Vance had to put it all into him and
then work hard to bring it out at the end of his fingers. He responded
wonderfully, has grown immeasurably in the doing of it, not only in
workmanship but in understanding and character which is the greatest
thing after all...".... |

Charlotte L. Yale. "It is wonderful of you to write such a letter
and so good of you to think of us. Mrs Seely has been in bed nearly nine
weeks but was normal yesterday and today and I hope is on the road to
recovery. We believe she may sit up in a week or ten days. ...I can't
believe my eyes when I read about the door. It is so wonderful to think
that you are making it right and I know youare quite right about the
panel..." |

October 18, 1926. Letter from Charlotte L.
Yale to Fred Seely. "...It was good news indeed to learn that you
can now feel Mrs. Seely is at last on the road to recovery. ...We are so
glad you are willing for us to cut out that first panel of the door. We
should never think of cutting all the way through, but only sufficient
for us to get the necessary depth...We have plenty of cypress for the
panel..." |

October 21, 1926. Letter from Charlotte L.
Yale to Fred Seely. "We were distressed to learn on our arrival at
the Inn yesterday, that Mrs. Seely was having a bad day, and that we
were unable to see you.
... thank you for the gracioius invitation to luncheon.
Mrs. Donnan, who is a cousin of our Mother's, Miss Ewen, Eleanor and I
made up the party and never did we have greater treat.
Of course, we have always loved the Inn but our
appreciation grows with every visit. We marvel at the increasing beauty
of the place and the wonder of the whole plan and management..... |

October 23, 1926. Letter from Fred Seely to
Charlotte Yale. "It is my idea that you gauge out the panel and
make the new one up so it would just fit the cavity.
We find it a good idea to give a coat of varnish as a filler to
the raw wood where we are going to use the compound...."

October 28, 1926. Letter from Fred Seely to
Charlotte L. Yale. "Miss Julia has told me how fine the door is and
I have been hoping to get down to see it but Mrs. Seely is still unable
to sit up. Stop. It occurs to to me to suggest that you carve the first
panel and let us bed it in up here as we have had considerable
experience handling the compound." |

October 30, 1926. Letter from Charlotte L.
Yale to Fred Seely. "We have received you kind letter of October
23, also you telegram of the 28th. We are sure that we can do the work
ourselves. The panel cannot be carved first and then set in.
It is very disappointing to learn that Mrs. Seely is still unable
to sit up. We had so hoped that she was gaining steadily, but of course
after such a serious illness her progress will be slow. ..." |
