La Verne thanks Berry for the gourd for her play and suggests a surgeon who is "a perfect wizard" at removing scars that Berry's sister may have gotten in her car accident. She promises to speak to her friends about the Berry Schools.

Berry sends a gourd to replace La Verne's damaged one. Berry also mentions her sister's car accident as the reason why she has been so busy with her "hands and heart full". She wishes Miss La Verne a successful season and requests a visit while she is south.

La Verne asks Berry to send a "goard" (gourd) to replace the one damaged by her property manager.

Miss La Verne explains to Miss Berry that the gourds sent previously were too small. She requests for them to be replaced with ones to hold a pint of water.

Lucille La Verne has urged the DAR and SAR, who are working of helping mountain schools, to direct all of their giving to the Berry Schools. She asks Berry to send her a letter that describes the school's needs.
