MAXFIELD PARRISH. TLS, 1 p., 4to, Windsor, Vermont, August 16, 1915. Good content regarding his difficulties in completing a commission. In full: "I regret very much to say that I know not just when the ceremony of glazing will take place: such a damp sumer is not within the memory of the oldest inhabitant, and varnishing and glazing are out of the question. So I am going on with simply the drawing in of the other figures, and trust that this soggy weather cannot keep up for ever. Its bad for paint, but the swimming pool is full, and all from one spring at that, so we can be thankful for one side of it. With best wishes: Sincerely: Maxfield Parrish." Fine condition, with expected mailing folds and very slight wrinkling. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
