An Afterglow


DEEP COVE
INDIAN POINT, MAINE


This is first to thank you for your note and second to welcome you back.

Sea-urchins abound here and flounders may be seen on the bottom in shoal water at low tide.

I am in the nicest little bungalow, made of portable houses—a bedroom and a sitting room each 10 ft. by 12.5 with an outside porch verandah. The sides of the sitting room are all patent windows which hoist up or down most ingeniously. The front the same with a window-door, the back alone a wall and with another door. The bedroom equally perfect. Mine is encased in mosquito netting at all the windows so that the breeze enters but not the flies. Ideal!
