Dear Mr.s Blackwell,
I received your kind letter 
yesterday and thank you for letting me
know about "Sunset View." It seemed good
to see your handwriting and hear about
[Chilmark?], for it broght to mind dear
memories. I will certainly keep the
place in mind and will let you know 
if I hear of any prospects. 
I trust that you and Miss Barry are
well and will journey to the Island

safely and comfortably and that a happy
summer is awaiting you there.
Kindest regards from my husband and
family and loving greeting to you,
Dear Miss Blackwll, from
yours affectionately 
Marianne Garrison

My dear Miss Blackwell:

I received your letter of April 20th
and May 6th and thank you for letting me know
about the house at [Chilmark?]. I am glad, you rented
the house for June and July. Then we will be there
in August and stay till schools begin, i.e. till September
8th, I think. I wish our stay could be longer,
for I anticipate much pleasure and benefit from
our vacation, but we are governed by Mr. Garrison's 
vacation and the children's school. I have tried to
have my sister-in-law and aunt come down with
us and take Whale-Bungalow. They not quite 

decided, but if they do, I will let you know soon.
We are all looking forward with pleasure to seeing
you, dear Miss Blackwell, and with cordial greeting
from Mr. Garrison and myself, I am
Sincerely yours
Marianne Garrison

Dear Miss Blackwell:
I received your letter of
March 1st asking our plans about your
house at Chilmark. We have often spoken
about the place and I have had in mind
communicating with you. Yes, we would 
like to be in Chilmark during August
and the first week of September and - if
it could be arranged suitably with another
party we would like to take the house
beginning July 21st. Of course this latter



proposition holds only, in case it can be arranged
suitably, for I would not want to
spoil the opportunity of you renting the house
for the first half of the summer.  You once
mentioned to me that t?oo families who had
been to Chilmark previously might possibly
wish to share the house with us.  We might
communicate with them and I will also
try among my acquaintances.  There is one
thing I would like to mention regarding
the furnishings of the house.  Would you be
willing to replace some of the mattresses
with new ones? Otherwise, I think we can
get along very well with the present supplies
for the house.
In regard to buying, I do not know if it

would be possible for us just now.  The price
however would be an important factor, and 
as I have no idea what you consider it worth,
I would appreciate it if you would let me
know your price.
Chilmark has left many pleasant memories,
and we like to think and plan for another
summer of quiet happy vacation time.
I have often wanted to know how you and
your friends were, and I would like to inquire
for our cousin and her faithful Jack.
Mr. Garrison joins me in kindest regards to
you, Dear Miss Blackwell and I am
Sincerely yours, Marianne Garrison.
