The Wooing of Bessy When Lawrence Eastman began going to see Bessy Houghton the Lynnfield people shrugged their shoulders and said he might have picked out somebody a little younger and prettier but then, of course, Bessy was well off. A two-hundred-acre farm and a substantial bank account were worth going in for.
We saw the Academy, and, oh, Curt! there are some very striking landscapes two by Gifford; and the cutest portrait of a girl by Wiyam Hunt. And your friend Bierstadt has a Western scene all fireworks! and, dear, Eastman Johnson was there and Kensett sent such a cunning little landscape. We lunched at Taylor's."
